BOOK SPOTLIGHT Daughters for a Time by Jennifer Handford

June 2, 2012 By Mary

Book Description

Publication Date: April 24, 2012

Feelings of abandonment fill Helen Francis at a too-young age when her mother dies and her father walks out. Left in the care of her older sister, Claire, she moves on but never truly heals. Now thirty-five and married, Helen is desperate to start a family of her own. After four unsuccessful years of trying to become pregnant, Helen accepts the idea of adoption.

When her baby is finally in her arms, Helen experiences true exaltation. But she is quickly blindsided with the worst possible news: Claire has cancer. Helen’s wounds are again torn open as she balances the bliss of a new daughter with the grief of a dying sister.

    Sounds like a tear jerker. I know what you mean about not enough time, but I’m adding this to my TBR Wishlist anyway. Maybe I’ll get to it soon.
