Josie Gallagher wasn't just being kicked out of her lucrative business site by a big-bucks development corporation. She was being kicked out by a crazy good-looking suit that showed up with her almost six-year-old daughter at his side. The daughter she gave up for adoption nearly six years before... the daughter born of a heinous attack... the child whose life she saved by offering a piece of her liver three years later.
Who is this man? This Jacob Weatherly? Because he isn't part of the couple that adopted Addie, the couple she quietly approved through the high-end adoption agency in Louisiana. And what in God's name is he doing with her precious child?
She's kept this secret for over six years, purposely. She'd worked hard to shed her college-age wild-child reputation and she'd succeeded. She thought she'd done her best for Addie. A strong couple, a beautiful home, a solid base of faith. Clearly she was wrong but now that Addie was here, virtually next door, Josie was determined to get to the truth. One way or another, she'd find out what happened but when she realizes that Jacob is a good, kind and loving man-- and that Addie adores him-- she's torn.
She'd given the girl up once. It tore her apart then... And now to realize that she'd been fooled... that the adoption agency had been fooled by the guise of a happy couple... and that Addie's adoptive mother had been a conniving, manipulative person determined to get her own way, anger threatens to overtake her. How could she make such a horrible mistake with something as important as a child?
But Jacob was nothing like his sister. And he didn't just have custody of Addie. He'd adopted her after his sister's death, making another layer of legal mumbo jumbo to unravel. But should she? Was that the best for Addie or the best for her? And what should she do about her growing feelings for Jacob? If walking away quietly is the best choice, does she have the strength and faith to do it again?

Reunited Hearts: Excellent example of real life's deepest struggles and our faithful Father's plans in spite of all our messups, helping us to become more and more like Jesus. I would recommend this book for early teens clear through our late 90's.
