Dream Daughter

In 1970, Caroline Sears learns that the baby girl she is carrying has a heart defect. Medicine at the time offers little hope, and the news devastates her.

Her brother-in-law Hunter, a physicist, tells her there may be another way. He arrived in the Sears family's life only a few years earlier, with no relatives, no friends and a past he never explained. He settled in with them all the same and stayed.

What Hunter proposes upends everything Caroline believed about the world. Accepting it demands courage and strength she has never had to call on, and a willingness to trust something that sounds impossible. Her reason for even considering it is her unborn daughter.

This is a genre-crossing novel that blends family drama with science and a question of faith. The center is a mother's fight to save her child, and the book asks the reader to accept what seems unbelievable along with her.
