This is a fairly quick read. It begins with the baby girl abandoned and takes us on the journey through her hard childhood as she is growing up in the present, while telling the story of her family from the viewpoint of the mother who abandoned her in the past. It is well written and very character driven. I just don't handle children in distress well and this was too dark and sad for me.

Two storylines going at the same time and at the most critical moment they will intersect and bring the story all together. One centers around Shannon who is a young girl that has spent all of her young life bouncing from house to house in the foster care system as she is left on the steps of a YMCA as a newborn. The other storyline is the story she is narrating about the days leading up to her birth that stars her mom and father and extended family.
