Review of The Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

When Caroline Sears receives the news that her unborn baby girl has a heart defect, she is devastated. It is 1970 and there seems to be little that can be done. But her brother-in-law, a physicist, tells her that perhaps there is. Hunter appeared in their lives just a few years before—and his appearance was as mysterious as his past. With no family, no friends, and a background shrouded in secrets, Hunter embraced the Sears family and never looked back.  

Now, Hunter is telling her that something can be done about her baby's heart. Something that will shatter every preconceived notion that Caroline has. Something that will require a kind of strength and courage that Caroline never knew existed. Something that will mean a mind-bending leap of faith on Caroline's part.

And all for the love of her unborn child.

A rich, genre-spanning, breathtaking novel about one mother's quest to save her child, unite her family, and believe in the unbelievable. Diane Chamberlain pushes the boundaries of faith and science to deliver a novel that you will never forget.

My Review:
4 Stars

Caroline is devastated. Her husband has been killed in the Vietnam War. All that remains of their life and him is the unborn child she is carrying. The one connection she has left to her husband.

That connection is threatened when the doctor's discover that the baby has a heart condition, a condition that will be fatal no matter what.

Caroline will do anything to save her child. Even something that sounds absolutely insane, but what other choice does she have?

This is an emotional story about the lenghts one woman will go to save the life of her unborn child. The trust that she will have to put into her family and a love that transcends time.
