A 4 star read by Amanda Cox. I enjoyed this book from the very beginning to the end. I really liked the way the story unfolded both in the past and in the present. The skipping back and forth between time periods per chapter kept me intrigued and wanting to read more.
Present day- Ivy has the job of going through her recently deceased grandma's estate. Ivy has always wondered about her birth history as she was adopted at 3 months of age. Her grandmother is leaving her clues to find the story she has been searching for.
1994-Harvey, the homeless/hermit in the forest, finds a baby deserted in the woods. He has never felt loved or part of a family and this baby has changed that loneliness and emptiness. His heart and life is full, but how is he going to take care of the baby: feed her, cloth her, and keep her housed and safe.
Those two stories collide to find a story about a how a family and unconditional love comes from those who may not have the same blood relation/DNA. It is a story that has a few trigger warnings: domestic violence, and infertility.
Great writing and story!
