This seems like a fascinating and thought-provoking book. The topics are controversial yet widespread in the society. This is a book I would love to read. Amazing review!

This book has a number of interesting characters who give perspective to the story. The author raises questions that provoke thought. Did the child get adopted or end up in foster care? I look forward to read the book. Thank you for a wonderful review.

Excellent review. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I made it through the first 5 chapters. There are a lot of interesting characters, for sure! The character development is my favorite thing so far about the book. I cannot imagine finding a little baby abandoned in a bathroom. It wouldn't have taken much more effort to leave her at the firehouse or the hospital, but you would have to have a screw loose to do something like that.

This review made me amazed.I want to discover more about that innocent baby and how this angel was a thread to link those people .When I look from one side,its bad for this baby to be left,however from the other side,maybe its a good thing for a good beginning.Thank you for such an astonishing review.

I'm not going to finish this book. The opening pages are so mean-spirited, it brought me down.

While this book covers a lot of weighty topics worth discussing, I'm afraid it doesn't interest me in the slightest. Thanks for a great review.

This book certainly seems to deal with some important issues that we should talk about more. I would like to read the book about this abandoned child and the subsequent story that unfolds. Beautiful review.

Sounds wonderful! So many themes included in just one book. Love that there are so many different characters, all unique and telling the story from their point of view.

It sounds like reading the book will require some serious thinking and considering different viewpoints. I'm going to save it for Christmas. Thanks for the review!

I think the way the characters all have their own story to tell makes the book for me an even better read. A book hard to put down.

Wow, this sounds like a very deep read. From the topics covered I’m sure it would make one sit down and really think about religion, abortion, abandonment and other “moral” issues.

I like the premise of this book. The idea of showing how we relate to each other, and that our actions or inactions affect our reality. I also like that you mention it is a raw portrayal of this. Thanks for your review.
