  <default_description>Best friends Kamryn Matika and Adele Brannon thought nothing could come between them - until Adele did the unthinkable and slept with Kamryn's fiance, Nate. Worse still, she got pregnant and had his child. When Kamryn discovered the truth about their betrayal she vowed never to see any of them again. 

Two years later, Kamryn receives a letter from Adele asking her to visit her in hospital. Adele is dying and begs Kamryn to adopt her daughter, Tegan. With a great job and a hectic social life, the last thing Kamryn needs is a five-year-old to disrupt things. Especially not one who reminds her of Nate. But with no one else to take care of Tegan and Adele fading fast, does she have any other choice? 

So begins a difficult journey that leads Kamryn towards forgiveness, love, responsibility and, ultimately, a better understanding of herself.

    <body><![CDATA[Borrowed this book from a work colleague and didn't really have any expectations - just something to pass time during my lunch hour. The book covers issues of adoption, betrayal and hope. I enjoyed reading about the development of the relationship between Tegan and her &quot;new&quot; mother.

But I soldiered on and found myself liking the interplay of characters, wondering which guy would win out in the end, and how Ryn and Tegan w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56290931">more...</a>]]></body>

I was not finding any of the adult characters likeable, and was not enjoying reading about them.
