4 posts | 1 read
As a nanny for Miller and Carolyn Johnson in Los Angeles, Mexican-born Ehrlinda loves Kira as if the four-month-old child is her own. When Kira is kidnapped, Ehrlinda grieves as much as the babys parents. Authorities are certain that Kira was taken by Courtney Revell, the New York City woman who became the egg donor when Carolyn, a busy advertising executive, was not able to conceive on her own. After the kidnapping, Ehrlinda has dreams that Kira has been taken to Mexico. When they become too powerful to ignore, she persuades Carolyn to travel to Mexico to look for Kira. Together, the two women search a number of Mexican cities for the baby with the beautiful round face and blonde curls. During the journey, the two women each come to terms with their own motherhoodEhrlinda, who lost a child to miscarriage after being beaten, and Carolyn, who lost Kira to kidnapping. Together, they discover what it means to be a real mother.

Mehso-so

The story was good, though short and the writing was rather simple. I like that it ended happily but very lucky as well. Was interesting but probably be a one time read for me

Note to self: never try to eat cheesy chips while reading ever again. Trying to hold the book in one hand is annoying because this one will try to shut itself if my hand slips. 😅📚

AmyG If I started eating those while reading....I would probably eat the whole can. ;) 7y
AlaMich Also cheesy residue on the pages... 7y
