I picked up this book as an airport read during a long cross-country flight, knowing nothing more than what I read on the back cover. I enjoyed the book for what it was - something to entertain me while I traveled. It wasn't as compelling as I'd hoped, but was interesting enough to finish. It started out stronger than it ended, eliciting strong emotions about how anyone can be so cruel, rejecting their own child. Once you realize where the story is going, there are few surprises. I do wish I'd gotten it as a trade rather than paying full price in an airport!
