Daphna Edwards Ziman

It was an interesting story with some unexpected twists and turns but I felt that the author was a little heavy-handed in portraying foster care as an evil thing. I like things to be presented in a more subtile way. I liked the main character Kelly. I thought that she showed a lot of grit and intellect but also found her somewhat unbelievable. However, my main problem with the book was the language. I can't stand the f-word and find it hard to read books that feature it as heavily as this one did.… (meer)

This is a book that puts the whole foster care system on display. It shows the abuse of the foster children within the system by the foster parents that are supposed to be helping them and the corruption of certain public servants. Kelly is such a strong ,brave and determined woman whose life has been filled with hurt and hatred.

The foster care system is lucky to have such an advocate as Daphna Edwards Ziman. She does an excellent job with the storyline and characters. Please keep up the good work.… (meer)

I enjoyed this book very much. The suspense was excellently plotted by the author and the romance very subtle. The foster care aspect of the book hit close to home for me and brought back a lot of childhood memories, some good and some bad. Unfortunately, all too often children in our foster system are abused both verbally and physically and many do end up in the court system. It is also unfortunate that money is the principle reason that a lot of couples take on the responsibility of fostering children. I would recommend this book to any person who likes mystery, romance, and loes all the world's innocent children. Pick it up, read it, you will surely be glad you did.… (meer)
