Product Description
People who enjoyed A Little Princess, The Parent Trap, or Mary Christmas may enjoy reading Timothy Fish's new book, Searching For Mom. In this book, Mark Dawson has raised Sara alone. Sara has never had a mother and while she has a good relationship with her Dad, the influence of this single parent on her life is evident. Sara knows how to fight and can beat up boys older than her. She dresses like a boy. The only girly thing in her room is a doll and that has been relegated to holding Sara's baseball. After her teacher gives her an assignment to write about a woman she has never known, Sara decides that she will go find a mother. It is a difficult task, and when Sara finds a woman who meets her expectations, she finds that neither her Dad nor the woman is pleased with her efforts to bring them together. Timothy Fish has woven together an entertaining story with enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing all the way to the end of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Book to Read, June 21, 2007

By	Pen Name - See all my reviews

Sara Dawson is a girl with a problem, she has no mother, but that is a problem she intends to fix. Disguising herself as her father, Sara begins searching for a mother through an online dating site. At first, she has little success, but when Ellen Stephens responds, things couldn't be better. Ellen owns a café and pastry shop and is everything that Sara could possibly want in a mother. The two of them become fast friends and Sara begins spending more and more time in Ellen's café, but that isn't enough. Sara won't be happy until she brings Ellen and her father together. Her plan is simple. Lock them in the school basement and they are sure to realize how perfect they are for each other, but when her plan fails and Ellen agrees to marry Rob instead of Sara's Dad, Sara must find another way to bring them together or lose her ideal Mom forever.

This was a fun book to read. It is told primarily from Sara's point of view. Sara comes across as very confident and she's afraid of nothing. She knows what she wants and thinks she knows how to get it. It is one of my favorites, so if you want my opinion, I think you should buy it.
