"A heartwarming drama"
Eighteen years ago Emily Cooper and Jackson Talbert met
and fell in love. They made love, but on their last
evening together they recycled a used condom. Emily became
pregnant, but failed in her efforts to inform Jackson of
her condition. Though he promised forever, he never called
her after that last night. Instead, Jackson struggled with
his mother dying, which left the teenage Emily in the
untenable situation of having to give up her baby for
adoption. Almost two decades later, Emily, who is now a doctor,
sees Jackson, who visits her hospital to exhibit a new
software program. Though their old feelings surface
immediately, Emily has never recovered from the betrayal of
eighteen years ago. With that baggage and her secret, a
relationship between them seems remote. Though written within the confines of category
boundaries, EMILY'S DAUGHTER is an engaging tale that grabs
the reader's heart. The flaws and demons both lead
protagonists carry make Emily and Jackson authentic and
very human. The story line grips the empathetic audience
who will want this couple to regain the happiness they
lost. Linda Warren provides readers with a tearjerker that
never lets up on the angst until the ending. Harriet Klausner
