Summary: Great Summer By the Pool Reading
Review: A wonderful storyline which, unfortunately, could also be true. You couldn't help but feel Snow's pain at her mother's deathbed confession, leaving Snow feeling that she has no identity at all. As Snow's search for her biological mother comes to a close, the mystery of the woman who raised her for the past 30 years is just starting to take hold. The author had a wonderful story going here until the end, when you are left hanging. I have never liked books that leave open storylines. Even if it is part of a series, or if there is going to be a sequel, each book should be self-contained and with completed storylines. I feel like I was left reading half a book. I do hope the author has plans to do a sequel and put closure to this.

Summary: Great Summer By the Pool Reading
Review: I picked this book up at the library. The title caught my eye and also the description of the story's content. The beginning of the book is exciting and rather sad when Snow's mother confesses her crime of kidnapping. I thought the book dragged until Snow meets her real mother and then cried when she decribed how much they looked like each other. I rejoiced with Snow and her biological mother throughout the rest of the book and when I had finished was surprised how much I actually enjoyed the book. Great summer reading!!

Summary: A Great Story-Well Worth the Reading Time!
Review: In this story, Snow Devane learns a shocking secret from her mother before she dies of a heart attack. Ann Cook tells her that she kidnapped her from a supermarket 30 years before, and that she never was her mother in the first place.
Hardly believing her mother's words, Snow knows she must check it out. The only way to do so is to go through all of her mother's things in the attic, and find out what information she can. As she does so, Snow finds out that things don't add up. So probing into her mom's business affairs, and with the help of her best friend Katie, they find the truth. After that, it takes a search through the police department to find out who Katie's biological mother is.
I enjoyed the book thoroughly, and would recommend it to anyone wanting a different type of mystery. And it really is.

Summary: I will definitely seek out other books by this author.
Review: The book is a nice combination of the (somewhat unrealistic) mystery involving the 30 year old kidnapping and the more realistic characters and their relationships. As her past becomes revealed, Snow's personality, attitude, problems, etc. become understandable. I like for stories to reflect, as I believe our real lives do, how everything that happens to us affects who we are.

Summary: Saw this title and was intrigued
Review: This is the first book that I have read from this author. I saw this book in a book store and finished it within the same week.The story is about a young woman whose mother just had a heart attack and is dying and her last wish is to see her "daughter" before she dies. On her deathbed the mother tells the daughter, Snow that she kidnapped her from a supermarket in New York, 30 years prior. Snow- not believing the mother, until the will is read, realizes that she was a missing child to another mother in
New York City. Snow goes on a search for her "missing Life" and her biological Mother. Great story telling- moved fast and kept you interested throught the whole book. I would recommend this to everyone.
