This book was totally different from any other of the Stephanie Bond books that I have read... it was very heartbreaking to read, but it was an amazing book. it actually had a lot of truth in it which made me love the book even more.This book is about Virginia and Bailey. They were a great couple. They got married when they were very young. They had a child that wasn't planned. Just after two month of giving birth, Virginia was a the grocery store, and their baby was kidnapped. This destroyed their family. Bailey called Virginia a bunch of hateful names, and that was the end of their marriage.They both moved on to bigger and better things. Virginia went to college and got herself a degree in computers, and a great job. She had a lot of money and a big house. Still till this day she thinks about Bailey, and all the hurtful words he called her. She blames herself everyday when her son was taken. There was never a phone call or ransom or anything. She was starting to loose hope. Bailey on the other hand still worked in landscaping. He was in charge of a bunch of crews, and at night would go the bar under his apartment and look for a girl. He was very easy on the eyes and didn't have a problem finding women. Until one night it was Virginia that found him.Virginia told Bailey that the police in Florida found their son. Bailey was waiting to hold Virginia thinking that their son was found, and dead. He was shocked when she told him that he was alive and that they needed to get on a airplane and pick him up. Their son was now 8 years old, so jumping right into parenthood was going to be tough.now the rest of the story is "chad" their now 8 year old son adjusting to his new life. he still is confused about what happened, and still loves the lady who he called "mom" He easily opened up to Bailey and was in need of his approval and time. Where as Virginia he didn't like. He would say hurtful words to her, and do almost everything possible not to like her. He said he already had a mom, and didn't need a new one. Chad also said he never had a dad or grandparents, so that is why he got along with them so well. So, you will see the up's and downs that Virginia and chad will have to go thru to build their relationship.On top of everything else Bailey still loves Virginia. He is going to do everything possible to show her that he grew up and can be part of the family again. Even thought Virginia still loves Bailey she is playing hard to get, and the cat and mouse game is very funny to watch.
