I HATE buying a book only to find out it's a "re-write" -- HOWEVER, Lisa Jackson has an opening page at the front of the book CLEARLY explaining that -- I was able to make my own decision whether to read it or not, knowing the situation. Clearly updated and longer than the original, it's not a bad effort!

Jackson is good at this type of romantic suspense. Kate Summers lost her family in a drunken accident - desperate to try again, she adopts a newborn under "sketchy circumstances". Years later, as so often in life, her actions catch up to her and her now teenage son.

Simply an entertaining read for a quiet night or two. Perhaps not her best, but still worthwhile if you enjoy the genre.
