‘Sits squarely at the tender intersection of race, class, and
ethics – wrapped in beautiful prose and a killer plot that keeps
you turning the pages’ JODI PICOULT Is the truest family the one
we’re born into, or the one we make for ourselves? Cinnamon
Haynes has fought hard for everything she has – her marriage, a
stable job as a career counsellor, and home of her own. She’s
overcome the difficult circumstances of her childhood to build this
life, and yet, she can’t help but wonder . . . is this all there
is? Just nineteen years old, Daisy Dunlap has already faced her
share of hardships, but she has big dreams for her future. A future
which is threatened when she gets unexpectedly pregnant and,
desperate and alone, she makes a drastic decision with devastating
consequences. When Cinnamon finds an abandoned baby in the park,
she takes the newborn into her home, not realising the chain
reaction this will set off. Cinnamon must deal with the shocking
judgements from friends, strangers, even her own husband, about why
a Black woman like her would take in this blonde-haired, blue-eyed
baby, but all Cinnamon wants is to do right by this innocent child.
Then, Cinnamon’s fragile hold over the baby is threatened and she
must fight for the family she wants – even if that costs her
everything she once held dear . . . –– PRAISE FOR CHRISTINE
