In Search of Eden, by Linda Nichols

I have recently read this book and loved it. This is one of those feel good books. It is a story of a young woman looking for a child she had when she was 15. Her mother insisted she give it up for adoption; she didn't have a choice, didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, only got to hold her baby for a minute. Each chapter is written in the voice of a different character, so the author really keeps you involved in the book. I was always interested to know what was going to happen next to each character.
There is a bit of a religious overtone, but I quickly got used to it, and felt that it gave some depth to the characters. This book does raise some interesting questions on the topic of adoption.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Diana
