From Booklist
In a radical departure from her Sal Kilkenny mystery series, Staincliffe turns part Marge Piercy, part Rosamunde Pilcher in a story of three young English girls who become pregnant in the turbulent 1960s. The shame is too much for their families, and since none of the girls is in a position to marry, the three are forced to give their babies up for adoption. Staincliffe's heartwarming, heartbreaking story follows the birth mothers, the adoptees, and their adoptive mothers, describing their very different lives. After giving up her baby, Megan marries her childhood sweetheart and struggles valiantly to make a good life for her family. Caroline also marries, but the birth of another child sends her spiraling into a severe depression. Joan becomes a songwriter and begins a lesbian relationship. The three babies grow into very different women, but they share a consuming curiosity about their birth mothers. The search each undertakes and the results at the end of it vary as much as the three adoptees themselves. A captivating, sentimental story filled with tears, tragedy, humor, and happiness.
