After Julia DeSmit's boyfriend, Parker, left her in a college parking lot six years ago, she made a new life with her son, younger brother, grandmother, and new boyfriend. She works hard at a grocery store to bring in a meager income and takes classes toward her associate's degree. Overall, Julia is happy. But when she receives an email from Parker, her son's father, wanting to know if he has a child, her world is turned upside down.
VERDICT Baart is a promising new voice in the CF genre. Her debut novel, After the Leaves Fall (2007), received glowing reviews. This beautifully written, heartwarming story will appeal to fans of Karen Kingsbury and Lori Copeland.
