From Booklist:

Gina, a widow with two daughters in Perth, Australia, discovers after her father's death that he had been married before in England and may have had other children. The urge to find them is strong, but as soon as she's made up her mind to go, one of her daughters is hospitalized. On the other side of the world, a woman sets out for Australia to locate her great-grandfather, who happens to be Gina's father. Her arrival and insistence on helping with Gina's daughter allow Gina to travel to England. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Perth, Brad, a widower, learns that he has a daughter in England. Both Brad and Gina set out to find and forge familial relationships, but once they meet, their journeys are vastly different than they had imagined. This tale of two families forgiving past wounds and starting anew is just the kind of heartwarming story at which Jacobs excels. Maria Hatton
