Book Description:
Diana McBride, a thirty-four-year-old former child pageant contender, now works in a baby store in Long Beach. Between dealing with a catastrophic haircut, the failure of her marriage, and phone calls from her alcoholic mother, Diana has gone off her OCD medication and is trying to cope via washing and cleaning rituals. When pregnant teenager Jamie Ramirez enters the store, Diana's already chaotic world is sent spinning.
Jamie can't stand being pregnant. She can't wait to get on with her normal life and give the baby up for adoption. But her yet-to-be-born daughter, Stella, has a fierce will and a destiny to fulfill. And as the magical plot of Little Beauties unfolds, these three characters' lives become linked in ever more surprising ways.

Stacey K. (I loved the book. I especially liked the story being told from the 3 different characters. It made the book very interesting and I couldn't put it down.
Maggie C. (Was a tough read...not bad, but emotional. I would compare this in tissue levels to The Lovely Bones. :) Excellent book though, and I look forward to more from this author.
This was a wonderful little book; unusual, terribly flawed characters. I only wish it was longer because I wanted to know what happened to everyone!
An intense story of one woman who alienates herself, a teen that needs help and a baby who brings them together. Awesome read
