I have that Ms. Reid is an excellent author.  Her ability to tie in real life situations into her works of fiction is amazing.  Not only is she telling a great story, she is shedding light on things that go on in real life.  Her re-homing theme in this book is horrorific - to think people just re-home children almost like re-gifting a present is unthinkable.  Her abilty to address this issue and share it while also spinning her special story line is amazing.  When I first finished the book, before reading the author notes, I thought "wow what a twisted mind."  Then I saw that while everything else was fiction, re-homing wasn't.Mary o'Reilly is pregnant and still trying to meld her new ready made family into a cohesive loving family unit.  There was not much on Ian and very little on Rose and Stanley - this book was more focused on Mary and Bradley working closely together as a set.  I enjoyed this.Mary, along with Bradley, come into contact with the seediest of evil people and those that just don't believe her gift.  Mary's struggles to bring justice to a small child reveals how evil these people were and how far they went.  It was probably the darkest of all her books.I cannot wait for the next book.  Ms. Reid is an excellent story teller and artist - her words paint her story as if you are living them.
