Review: A mother's nightmare!
Rating: 3 out of 5

This was a hard book for me to rate, overall. This emotionally driven novella showcases two mothers, and their attachment to Charlie's infant daughter. The issues brought up were heart-rending, to say the least. However, I felt that the ending was predictable right from the beginning, and didn't really feel that sense of "something different" throughout.On a higher note, Mary SanGiovanni has a very good, fluid writing style. The novella read smoothly, and characterization rang true throughout. I think my only problem was that--in this rather short tale--there was little else going on, and in my opinion, an inevitable ending.
