👶🏻5 Stars for this Powerful story of Family, Love, Loss & Hope!👩🏻The Dream Daughter grabbed me from the onset. I was never bored with the story - the twists just kept coming right along with the heartache. Despite its sci-fi elements this story was so relatable for me as a mother. At its core/heart this is a story of the overwhelming power of a mother's love. It's 1970 and Carly learns her unborn child has a fatal heart defect for which there is no treatment. Faced with this devastating ...

Where to begin? I feel at a loss for words because this book meant so much to me, and I want to convey that to you, but I'm having trouble finding the right words to do that. I tried to go into this one as blind as possible, which turned out to be a swell idea; as Goodreads friend and reviewer Dee stated before me, "I think that the blurb for this book is very well written. It doesn’t give all the good stuff away, and I promise I won’t either. I didn’t know very much going into this novel and I’...

Oh, this book. This book wrecked me in the best possible way. All the stars and tears. I was so very wary about coming into this one because: time travel. It’s not my jam. But Diane Chamberlain just flipped the script on my skeptical behind and blew this out of the water. In a nutshell, this is a story of a mother’s unconditional, unrelenting love and how she will do anything and everything for her daughter. As a mother myself, I found this to be so beautifully relatable and understood this feel...

***EXCEPTIONAL BOOK ABOUT TIME TRAVEL AND A MOTHER'S LOVE***I’m not a usual fan of time travel with a few exceptions but this was so much more! I’ve never read a book by Ms. Chamberlain but I certainly will be adding her books to my TBR list. This book is really about a mother and the choices she will make to ensure that her baby will survive first of all and also to have a healthy and happy life.The book’s prologue starts in 1965 when Caroline Grant, a PT, meets Hunter Poole in a hospital in Ch...

I can’t actually say that I believe time travel is possible, but I’m usually able to accept it in a work of fiction because anything can be made possible by an imaginative writer. Diane Chamberlain has made anything possible in this story and I was swept across the decades. What kind of unimaginable things would you do to save your unborn child ? What Carly does, reflects the depth of love of a mother for her daughter when she travels from 1970 North Carolina to 2001 New York so her unborn baby ...
