5.0 out of 5 stars I read this in one sitting, October 16, 2000

By	Chris Aschero "rockerchic" (Concord, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I first purchased this book about 8 months ago because I am a fan of Cassie Edwards, one of the authors of this book. Susan writes the prologue, a woman is about to give birth to her first child. She loves her child, a product of one night with her boyfriend before he went off to war and was killed. Her parents are disappointed in her, and plan to give her child to another family, but she can't do it. She flees on a cold wet night and has her baby in a strangers home, where her parents locate her. Taking her daughter with her she flees again. She travels for a while then comes across a home and leaves her child on the doorstep with a locket. The first story "The Woman Next Door" is also writen by Susan and chronicles how this little baby was found by Michael, a man who's lost his wife and child and feels empty inside. When he finds the child her turns to his neighbor, Katherine, to help him with the child. This story shows the romance blossom between the two of them and the love for the child. Both women bring love and joy back into his life. The next story in the book follows the mom who gave up her daugher. Cassie Edwards picks up the story and Davinda's struggles to deal with the loss of her daughter. Walking Thunder is the Chief to the Blackfoot people, and takes her in and tries to heal the loss in her heart. She eventually trusts him and they go on to have several children, and they take care of Walking Thunder's nephew Daniel, but she never forgets her first born. This is where Lori Copeland takes over. She writes of Sarah, a piano teacher raised by Michael and Katherine. She takes on a new student Daniel, who wants to learn how to play a song for his "adopted mother's" birthday. They begin to grow feelings for each other, but feel that they have to hide it because he is Indian and she is white. Well, their love wins out and he takes her home to meet his family. Of course mother and daughter reunite, when Daniel recognizes the locket both his wife and his "adopted mother" have. This whole book is just wonderful and I have read it several times, and always in one sitting. The stories come together beautifully and no one author lacks in keeping your attention. I bought this book being a Casey Edwards fan, but I have sinse bought all of Susan's books and are starting in on Lori's. This book is masterfully writen by three amazing authors.
