- Patricia Ann Kay was born on 7 March 1937 in a small town in northeastern Ohio, USA, where she raised along with three younger sisters. She considers herself a very lucky woman. The family didn’t have a lot of money, but she says that didn’t matter, because what they did have was worth more than money — a happy home. Her parents had a good marriage and they doted on their four daughters. That upbringing is reflected in the stories she writes. As readers all over the world have discovered, her books are filled with warmth and love of family.
Pat has lived in upstate New York, Northern Alabama, Southern California, and Stockholm (Sweden), and since 1969, in Houston, Texas with her husband. She says that no matter where she’s lived, she’s found that people everywhere are the same and want the same things: love and committed relationships. The marriage has three terrific grown children. They currently share their home with two longhaired cats, and a backyard filled with squirrels, birds, and other critters. Her hobbies and other interests include reading, walking for exercise, going to the movies and the theater, swimming, and traveling.
In 1990, Pat sold her first romance novel to Silhouette. Since then, more than four million copies of her novels have been published in eighteen different countries. Today, Patricia Kay, alias Ann Patrick and Trisha Alexander, is an USA Today bestselling author of 50 novels of romance and women's fiction. - Hinweis zur Identitätsklärung

However I quickly found myself absorbed in the storyline. The characterisation is good, and the problems arising when the parents discover, ten years after the birth, what has happened, is all too realistic. The conflict between the love of one's own child and the child one has raised can only be imagined, but I felt that the author dealt with it sensitively and constructively.
It's not a difficult read, and the story mostly progresses at a good place. However there were places where I skimmed a few paragraphs: I found there to be a bit much introspection and heart-searching, repeating what had gone before. There's some nicely done romantic tension although I was disappointed that when this is eventually resolved, the author gives far too much detail about what happens rather than gently closing the bedroom door.
While the eventual outcome is predictable, I didn't mind that at all. The story itself has some gentle twists and turns, and a mixture of interesting people. Perhaps the eventual capitulations of a few of the characters, and the final paragraph, are a tad unrealistic, but this was clearly going to be a happy-ending story. Overall, I found it quite a satisfying read which was ideal for reading on a plane.… (mehr)
