Summary: A solid contemporary tale with a gender bender twist
Comment: Ten years ago, knowing she had no one to turn to for assistance, a pregnant Hope Tanner escaped from her polygamous hometown Superior, Utah. She gave birth across the border at The Birth Place clinic in Enchantment, New Mexico. The Birth Place's head Lydia Kane arranged the adoption of her baby that Hope never touched once the child left the womb. Over the years she never forgot her loss though she knows she did the right thing for the sake of the infant.
Hope helps her pregnant sister Faith escape Superior by taking her to The Birth Place, a place that gave her a haven during her darkest moments. Feeling good about seeing people who have her hope when she needed it, Hope realizes how much she cares about these folks. However, administrator Parker Reynolds acts displeased and almost belligerent when he sees Hope, making her wonder who his son Dalton is.
The fifth novel in the Birth Place series (all by different authors) is a solid contemporary tale with a gender bender twist. Usually the lead female hides the child from the unknowing father, but in this case the adopted dad tries to conceal the lad from his biological mother. The story line is character driven as the widower Parker and the mother of his son Hope fall in love. The secondary cast from his son and in-laws, to the clinic's staff and her sister add depth to the understanding of the motives especially the fears of the prime couple making for a fine time for readers.
