"Child of Mine" - Book Review

Child of Mine is a new release written together by David and Beverly Lewis. The plot is different from other books I have read, being unique, but not unbelievable. Kelly Maines’ daughter, Emily, was kidnapped when Emily was just a newborn baby; Jack Livingston is raising his niece, Natalie, with the help from her Amish nanny, Laura. Kelly has searched for eight years for her baby girl, could Natalie be the daughter she’s never had a chance to get to really know? The characters of this book seem so real. Jack is a single dad trying his best to raise his niece the way his beloved brother and his brother’s wife would have, before they were killed. Natalie is a lovable eight-year-old girl, living a great life with her dad and nanny. She is so adorable with a love for: Pop-Tarts, Disney movies, and stuffed-animals. Laura is a part of the Amish community, living with her cousins in Wooster, Ohio, being shunned by her immediate family back in Lancaster, Pa. She helps with the raising of Natalie. Kelly is a distraught widow, just hoping to find the child who was kidnapped by her husband. She has searched for years and still doesn’t know where her daughter is. The plot of this book, as I said before, is different--unique. I fell in love with this book as soon as the first couple of chapters. It is an attention-getter and gets better and better as the story progresses. It has quite a few twisting turns along the way. You never know what’s around the next page! The ending was fantastic-a little different from the way I thought it would be-but just great! I’m going to give this book 5 out of 5 stars, and would give it more if I could! If you love any of the Lewis’ work, this page-turner is a must-have for your collection! I received this book from Bethany House Publishers to give an honest review on it. I was not asked to write a positive review.
