3 books about family learning about their past
3 adoptions. The first book is the story of an adoption where the mother didn’t know her child hadn’t died until she met her daughter when her daughter was grown. The next book that family learns the birth had been twins but they were separated and didn’t know of the other twin until they met. The last of the 3 books is the story of the second twin and her problems and life.
Julianne MacLean does a masterful job of creating characters who are complex interesting strong people I would be proud to have as neighbors and friends.

Great series
I caught myself, many times, not believing the next turn the book would take. They definitely kept me on my toes and my interest. There were several spelling errors which should be corrected as it really distracted me from the story. I highly recommend!

I only read the first book. It was not written in a style that I loved... With the "but you'll see that later" kind of foreshadowing.

These were pretty good. My attention was a little off and it took a bit to regain what was going on. But in the end, a good read.

Good Grief!!
The story begins OK until it begins skipping all over! First she's an adult, loses her child and spouse, goes to see her mom who tran away and here we are talking her as a kid growing up with two boys. I wondered..what happened??? I couldn't get fat, the skiing gave me vertigo! Then the grammar ..."...these ones...." No wonder everyone texts, they can't speak.
