This is part 2 of the Intervention series, and I hope that there will be another one.  Could not put this book down, and could not wait to pick it up again when I  had to put it down.  Each chapter leaves you on a cliff hanger.  Each page had a new twist and turn and left you wanting more.  Would highly recommend this book, but read Intervention first.

Fave Lines:  There is one line in this book that I loved: "Babies are gifts from God.  And if babies were the gifts, surely their moms were the wrapping"


I enjoyed this book, although there were some parts that dragged a little, but then it picked up again.  I would recommend this book.  I would not put it at the top of my list, but I think it should be read.  I love the little boy, Sam in the book.  He is so lovable and innocent and just wants to be loved.  I did not like the fact that towards the end he is an adult- I think that could have been left out and kept him as a little boy.

Secrets She Left Behind

 The sequel to Before The Storm.  Could not put this book down as well.  I was on the edge of my seat to find out what really happened.  Of course there were twists and turns.  I love the character Andy.  He seems so cute and innocent, ad he tries to be the best he can be.  I give this book five stars.  I love this author.
