The Stolen Child: A Novel
by Ann Hood
The Stolen Child (4/16/2024)
I received a copy of this book as part of the First Impressions program. I was drawn to review it because of the engaging plot description of two lost souls whose lives intersect in a beautiful, believable way.

Told alternately through the eyes of Jenny, a young American woman learning to claim her place in the world, and Nick, a World War II vet who made a long-ago choice that shattered his belief in himself, Ann Hood captures a compelling world of possibility, romance, and hope. As Nick and Jenny jorney to Europe to pursue the truth behind Nick's long ago decision and the secrets it spawned, they ultimately learn deep truths about themselves, each other, and the nature of forgiveness.

This is a lovely book - you will not be disappointed!
