Summary: powerful tale focusing on relationships
Review: In Pennsylvania, "Unsinkable" Molly McClain believes that her dad psychiatrist Dr. James McClain excessively worries about her to the detriment of his own health. The eight-year-old realizes she has problems having a transplant inside her, but she also needs to do children things without a daddy hen looking over her every action. At Camp Firefly, a special place for children with organ transplants and their parents, she decides that her father needs a wife who would also mommy her, but not like the one who deserted the two of them years ago.Divorced schoolteacher Rachel Thompson has been on a leave of absence since her four-year-old died. She wants to return to the classroom, but her dad and her boss agree she needs to do something else first to insure her grieving has hit a stage where she can work with children. They insist she first test herself at Camp Firefly. Molly chooses Rachel as the star of THE MOMMY PLAN. Don't let the inane title fool readers into thinking this is some sort of comic relief. Instead THE MOMMY PLAN is a powerful tale focusing on relationships in which the health of a child supersedes everything else. In this case there are two children involved, obviously Molly, but also Rachel's deceased little Daniel. This novel is for readers who appreciate a poignant well written emotional powerhouse and yes there is a romance subplot that fits inside the theme of the story too. Harriet Klausner
