A wonderful story!!!This inspirational story illustrates very clearly that adopted children are loved as strongly and deeply as biological ones. I had problems warming to Caitlin and grew impatient with her at times. And Mick sometimes seemed too good to be true. Mick's mother was an awesome secondary character, and all-in-all, I enjoyed this story very much.
ENGROSSING PAGE TURNER
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Patricia Davids brings two seemingly disparate worlds together when off-duty fireman Mick O'Callaghan rescues homeless mother-to-be Caithlin Williams--while she's giving birth. Davids' experience as a neonatal nurse shows in her description of the baby's transition from barely-alive premie who is almost orphaned to healthy daughter of a happy couple. Hardly matters that Mick is a bit too good to be true, and Caitlin's dire predicaments are incredibly numerous.

***This adorable story had me hooked from the very beginning. I enjoyed reading Caitlin's growth process -- from someone who was too prideful to ask for help to someone who's heart was softened by God. At times I felt as though Nick was a bit too pushy and treated Caitlin as though he had more of a "right" to be Beth's parent than she did. I was moved by the compassion and love that both had for the preemie and it was hard not to fall in love with little Beth myself. This was one of the better love inspired books that I have read as of lately. Bravo to newly published author Patricia Davids -- I look forward to reading more of her work.
Sweet story

I must admit, the cover page of the book moved me to buy it, and I'm so glad I did. The story is so wonderful and touching that I had the hardest time to put it down. It's the story of Caithlyn Williams, a homeless widow who gives birth prematurely to a little girl with the help of firefighter Mick O'Callaghan who cannot have children. After giving birth, Caithlyn asks Mick to go with little Beth to the NICU, and while he's gone, knowing that she is dying, she tells everyone that Mick was the baby's father before lapsing into a coma - because she does not want her baby to go into the system that failed her when she was young. While adjusting to his new status of being a dad, Mick falls head over heels in love with little Beth (in critical condition), and discovers things about Caithlyn's past ..
