  <default_description>The first time I saw my mother was the night she died. The second time was at a party in Santa Fe.

After a childhood spent in an institution and a series of foster homes, Avery James has trained herself not to wonder about the mother who gave her up. But her safe, predictable life changes one night when she stumbles upon the portrait of a woman who is the mirror image of herself.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Slowly but inevitably, Avery is compelled to discover all she can about her mother, Isabel. Avery is drawn into complex relationships with the people who knew her mother. As she weaves together the threads of her mother's artistic heritage and her grandmother's skills as a healer, Avery learns that while discovering Isabel provides a certain resolution in her life, it's discovering herself that brings lasting happiness.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the most amazing book!  I think maybe it had to do with the fact that when I read it, I was also contacting my own birthmother.  Timing...I suppose, but still, a really good read, even if you're not doing the exact same thing the main character in the book is!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read Judith R. Hendricks other books and really liked them.  While this one was good, it lacked the charm that the other ones had (Bread Alone, etc.)  My feeling towards the book may be due to the fact that I didn't completely warm to the main female character.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Excellent book. Enjoyed the desert SW setting with cultural influences. Felt empathy for the main character even though I have no experience with being an orphan looking for my mother. Tidied up a little neatly at the end for my taste, but overall quite fabulous.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book. There are some great passages written in the book, the author captured the atmosphere of the southwest beautifully, I learned about a culture I new little about and it made me want to learn more.  I'd like to read more by this author.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great character development...the beginning was slow but the story picks up pace and is really good. <br/>I enjoyed &quot;Bread Alone&quot; as well....hopefuly the author will change the romantic relationships in the next novel. ]]></body>
