The book everyone is talking about — you’ll never see the ending coming. Never question a mother’s intuition. My water isn’t supposed to break while there’s a storm raging, when my husband isn’t on the island, and as the power flickers out. Darkness covers the cabin as I cling to my belly. I never imagined it happening like this. Trained as a midwife, I know I can deliver my daughter. * * * I look at her, and I see her — I’ve always known her. She’s perfect. Sweat and tears streak down my face as I kiss her over and over again. Reaching for my bag of midwifery supplies, I wipe her nose and press her tiny body to my chest. I fall asleep with her in my arms. * * * When I wake, my husband is home, the lights are back on — but the baby he’s holding — it’s not mine. I’m not crazy. I gave birth to a girl, and that baby in his arms is a boy. He’s not my baby. You won’t want to put this down until you find the shocking truth about what happened. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose, Colleen Hoover and Keri Beevis. Please note this is a revised edition of The Midwife’s Mistake. It contains themes of baby loss that some readers may find upsetting.Ver libro

The police suspect a tragic barn accident, but Al notices the alpaca's fiber has been deliberately contaminated and the victim's quality control reports contain coded messages about fiber fraud. With her farm under investigation and the alpaca community humming with anxiety, Al must herd together the clues.

With the breeders expo approaching and the real fiber fraudster still spinning lies, Al must comb through the evidence before her own farm gets permanently sheared.Ver libro
