About
this book:
“When Alex Ochs receives a bank overdraft statement on an account in his sister's name, he brings it to Anne for help. After his sister, Marla, and her husband died in a car accident four years ago, Alex made sure all of their accounts were closed. He never knew of this overdrawn account until now but quickly learns it is tied to Marla's work at Heaven's Child, an organization that provides funding to families planning to adopt. Someone is clearly still using this account ... and stealing money from Heaven's Child. Can Anne and Alex find the thief and recover funds that should be going where Marla intended - to help orphaned children join their new adoptive families?
Meanwhile, missionaries from India tell Anne that Aunt Edie once visited them. Curious about her great-aunt's trip, Anne delves into Edie photographs and discovers that she was working to found an adoption agency and even adopt a child of her own, a boy named Thomas Gee. But where is he now?”

My personal Rating-
Did I
really enjoy this book because of all the adoption content? Yes. Was more enjoyment
added when Korean traditions were mentioned? Also yes. I’m biased, what can I
say? 😉 Truly, though, this is probably one of my favorites in this series thus
far. I really enjoyed many different aspects of it and the mystery kept me
interesting to see who was taking the money.
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
