The Dream Daughter

I love this story! This is my first time reading a Diane Chamberlain book, and she is now on my list of must read authors! Time travel stories are very hit or miss for me, and this was definitely a hit. She has a great way of weaving the various stories, timelines, and perspectives together in such a way that it feels believable. It a great story of love that traverses time and boundaries and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and is unlike anything you have ever read! Carly Sears is living with her sister and brother in law. She met her brother in law Hunter years before when she was a PT student, and he was an unresponsive patient. Somehow she was able to bring him out of his state and introduced him to her sister, Now Carly is in need; her husband died in Viet Nam a short time before, and he never knew that Carly was expecting their baby. At an ultrasound, the baby is found to have a defect that will kill her, even should she survive birth. Hunter has a unique, even unbelievable proposition that can save the baby's life. Does Carly dare do what he suggests? "The Dream Daughter" is the story of love and loss; of unexpected joys and heartrending decisions. It's a departure for Diane Chamberlain and a hugely successful one. I couldn't put this book down. Definitely, recommend!
