I originally submitted a review of this wonderful book about 2 weeks ago, but am now informed it has indeed been apparently lost in the system. Since the book is no longer fresh in my mind, rather than try to recreate the original review, suffice it to say did this story about a newborn abandoned on the beach at Kill Devil Hills, NC, 22 years ago Incorporates elements of mystery, suspense, love and romance, familial relationships, and ulterior motives. Shelley, the grown up baby, asks for help from a TV show to discover the identity of her birth parents. More than one woman thinks she may be Shelley's mother, and the Entire Community Seems to be rife with secrets and suspects. It takes Shelley's pregnancy, a hurricane, her disappearance, and a misguided attempt to set matters right suicide and reveal old and painful secrets. This novel is well written, wonderfully Plotted, Completely captivating, and one of the most poignant I've read in some time.
