Emma's Secret: A Novel by Steena Holmes

Emma's Secret, stands on its own. I had no idea that there was a book before it, titled, "Finding Emma."

Emma was kidnapped by a senile old woman, who thought, Emma was her granddaughter. Dottie and her husband Jack raise this little girl for two years. They were loving and caring. Emma formed intense bonds with them.

Emma is returned to her family after, Dottie passes away. Emma's parents and siblings are having a difficult time acclimating to having her back. There are feeling of guilt, anger and frustration. Jack and Emma both long for one another. Emma aches to see her grandfather but her mother won't allow it.

This is an extremely emotional r
ead, however there isn't a set solution to the issues at hand and you're left hanging. Wondering what happened to these characters?

Grade: B
