Her Daughter's Eyes
-Jessica Barksdale Inclan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In an upper middle-class neighborhood, on a street like Wildwood Drive, things like this are not supposed to happen.... Sixteen-year-old Kate is going to have a baby. She's done all to prepare for the new child's birth but one thing: She hasn't told anyone.

Except for her younger sister. Together, all they have is a crib made out of cardboard, sheets from the Goodwill...and hope. Hope that somehow, with the newborn baby in arms, everyone will forgive.

Praise for Her Daughter's Eyes:

*MY REVIEW*

This is story about a neglectful father who decides to abandon his childen for another woman after his wife and the mother of these 2 girls dies from cancer. The girlfriend was 50 percent of the problem too. She brained washed the father (Davis) into living with her and her 2 sons, so therefor Davis only visited his girls every few days because he was brained washed by this woman. She really irriated me. I wanted to jump in the novel and slap her silly. And of course because no one was there two love these two girls and watch over them, this is why Kate became pregnant.

I liked the mystery in this novel of not knowning who the father of the baby was until the middle of the book. The author didnt really describe the characters so it was kind of hard to picture what they looked like. She did do an amazing job when describing the birth and I mean she described everything! Another thing that left me wondering is where Kate and Tyler got the money to buy all the baby items. They mentioned that Kate babysat but I dont think she would have enough money for all the things they described. Truly touching and emotional novel. This one is a keeper.
