Book Description
Your little girl is all yours… isn’t she?
Dani and her husband Tate’s life together is almost perfect. But Dani is haunted by guilt for causing a terrible car accident that left her unable to have children. She can’t remember why she was driving so fast that day or where she was going. Her therapist says she should try to move on.
So when their application to adopt is accepted, Dani sobs with joy. As perfect little Willow nestles in her arms, Dani looks at Tate’s loving smile and knows he will always provide for his family, no matter what.
When Dani sees a woman staring as she pushes Willow’s stroller around the safe, gated Florida community where they live, she tells herself it’s simply an admiring passer-by. After all, Dani herself used to watch the local moms and wish she was in their shoes.
But when Dani wakes in the night to find Willow’s crib empty, their perfect life becomes a nightmare.
In her frantic distress for her daughter, Dani’s memories of the accident flash through her mind. And with a jolt she realises: everyone around her has been lying about that day.
Will Dani find out the truth before it’s too late for her baby girl?
Or will facing her own dark secrets tear them all apart?
What I Thought
I would call The Adoption one of those slow starter psychological thrillers that gain traction and then goes full pelt! In the first half you get to know Dani and the guilt she has for not being able to have children due to an accident. Towards the second half, it’s a non-stop twisty roller coaster ride that you won’t be able to put down! My kinda book! You always want to guess what’s happening and whodunnit in a good thriller, it is natural. But The Adoption will lead you somewhere else! I can’t wait to dig out more of the author’s other books!
A highly recommended read from me. Perfect holiday reading!
