Jack is single, living a life that he thought he enjoyed flying planes. His sister, Sandra, calls telling him that his brother and his wife were killed in an accident. This changes his life as he also gets the shocker that they left custory of their dauther Nettie to him.
His sister promises that she will stay around for at least a year to help him out with Nettie. Laura is Nettie's nanny. Laura has been with her since she was a baby. So she goes along with Jack to help take care of her.
Kelly gets a lead. Could Nettie be her long lost daughter? Who really is the parent of the little girl?
David and Beverly Lewis write a story that revolves around the love that parents have for their children. You realize in this story that you don't have to be the biological parents. As long as you have the love any child can be yours.
David and Beverly Lewis also incorporate some of the Amish traditions. I really don't know that much about the Amish. But I did learn some of traditions. CHILD OF MINE is a great book, there are parts when I felt so bad for the two main characters. I would really like to see a second book just to find out how all of their lives changed.
