almost everyone says their book is a must read, but this book is!!!
This is one of the best books I have ever read in a long, long time. The author, Emily Gunnis, is a genius, and I do not know how she came up with what she comes up with. This book was thrilling and terrifying and heartfelt and it made me cry. I just canât say enough about this book.

Hard to Follow
This book jumped all over the place and was hard to follow in the beginning. I almost stopped reading it but am glad I didnât. Itâs not a happy ever after type book but it kept my attention and I was glad I finished it. Itâs worth the read.

Great book
The story is little hard to follow at first and there are so many typos and misuse of words that it was little irritating! I guess books are not edited prior to release these days! What a shame. I loved the story, though, its worth reading.

Beautiful Story of Humanness
Love the story and the many tangled characters; although sometimes hard to follow. My biggest disappointment was the lack of good proofreading. Unfortunately, something I find in for too many books these days.

Read This!!!!
This story was phenomenal. The only problem is that there is a slew of characters being introduced at first. Once you figure out where they all fit then the story takes off. Lots of Twists and turns.I real!Y believed that Rebecca knew the truth. The truth of who her real mother was. I am so glad that she got to meet her and learn the truth of her shattered childhood.

Interesting Twists
This is an interesting story with a few unexpected twists that add a nice dimension to the tale. The possibility of events such as those in this story are very real, especially in the time period it occurs in although those same events could bring like results today. The characters are all believable and well developed. Because of the content, I feel it’s only suitable for mature audiences.

lots of twists and turns
But as the story unfolds youâll learn devotion, commitment, power, character, loyalty, and position all matter in how lives and choices unfold. But, secrets always come with a cost. This secret impacted so many lives. Enjoy the story as it unfolds and pay attention to the details.

This book had me captivated from start to finish. Sometimes it gets difficult to read about a character or two in a book who is suffering from a mental illness, and you wish you could reach in and hug them because you feel so bad for them. But that’s what good authors do to their readers.They put them through an emotional roller coaster while they are reading. If you don’t go through that while reading a book it’s not worth reading.About a women who is so scared she is going to turn out like her mother did when she had her at birth. her mother was terrified her daughter was going to die, and all the doctors and nurses were out to kill her baby by doing all the tests they normaly do on kids when they are born. It’s a good read on the subject of pre/post-natal depression. There is more to the book, your going to have to read itt and find out for yourself….Happy Reading

Nachdem ich kürzlich the girl in the letter gelesen habe, hatte ich sofort the lost child vorbestellt. Das erste Buch von Emily Gunnis hatte mich schon gefesselt und auch diesmal wurde ich nicht enttäuscht. Es geht in erster Linie um Jessie, die direkt nach der Entbindung ihrer Tochter eine Psychose bekommt und in einem unbemerkten Moment mit ihrem todkranken Baby aus der Klinik flüchtet. Familie und Polizei tun alles daran sie zu finden.Tatsächlich ist die Geschichte jedoch viel tiefer und Vielschichtiger. Wir lernen Harriet, Rebecca, Harvey, Iris und Cecilia kennen und noch so viele Menschen mehr. Alle Charactere sind wundervoll gezeichnet und man hat das Gefühl sie wirklich zu kennen. Naturlich hat eben jeder so seine ganz eigene Story und am Ende hängt alles zusammen. Wie genau verrate ich nicht. Ich wünsche viel Spaà beim lesen.Ach und ein kleiner Trost. So blutig und tw. gruselig wie bei the girl in the letter geht es in dem Buch nicht zu. 😉
