First, thank you to Jennifer Garcia for asking me to promo her upcoming anthology release with Ren Rom Publishing, along with stories by RE Hargrave and M.B. Feeney.  Second, I need to thank Jennifer and Ren Rom for the ARC for this story so I could do a review for this on release day!  As I emailed Jennifer on 6/27, I stayed up way too late when I had to get up early to go to work because I was so sucked into this story.I have been trying to figure out what to write for this review because it hit a special place in my heart because I can relate to the main character in a couple different ways.  I was adopted by family members when I was 3, I know who my biological mother is but I don't know who my biological father is.  While I grew up with a wonderful dad, I still occasionally wonder who my bio-father is, if I have other siblings, and what he is like.  However, I also feel that it has been so many years that I don't want to be rejected.  Will I ever search him out?  My answer is no.  I had a wonderful dad and I would never be able to replace that.Anela's journey to locate her father was a journey that tore at the heartstrings, but also watching her find Christian after knowing what happened to her mother was fun.  I felt the emotions that Anela described as she was going through this journey.  I loved watching Anela find her father and step-mother, but also find the love of her life.  I also respect the fact that Anela never forgot her mother and she had to grieve the loss of her mother, especially after she hadn't spoke to her in the ten months prior to her death.  Guilt is a terrible thing and that was one aspect that I thought was incorporated into this story in a good way, not overbearing and not under played.What a fabulous debut for Frober Arnone (Jennifer Garcia).  I look forward to more from her!
