The Dream Daughter
by Diane Chamberlain is the story of one mother’s fight to save her unborn
daughter. The story opens in 1965 where Caroline “Carly” Grant is an intern at
a physical therapy facility where a mysterious man named Hunter Poole insists
that she be his physical therapist. This man is strange and seems familiar with
information that puzzles Carly. Fast forward to April 1970, Carly is a widowed
pregnant woman who is being seen by her doctor. Her husband, Joe, has been
killed in Vietnam and she is staying with her older sister, Patti and
brother-in-law, Hunter. The doctor reveals that her baby has a serious heart
defect and would not survive outside the womb. Soon she will hear a story from
Hunter that will blow her mind and possibly give her baby a chance. Hunter is
from the future and his idea will send Carly to the future to a time of medical
advancements to save her unborn daughter. Will Carly take the chance? Will her
baby survive? Will she be able to return home?
I received a copy of The
Dream Daughter from NetGalley for my honest review. It took a while for me
to be able to sit down and read but once I did, I could not put it down. From
the open chapter to the last page, the story of Carly’s journey to save her
baby gripped me that I couldn’t wait to see how it ended. It is a beautiful
story with twists and turns. It wasn’t the story I was expecting, it was so
much more. Just when you think you have it figured out, you found out that you
don’t. My favorite line from the book, which sums up the story for me, is “The
love of a mother could make a hero out of everyday woman.” I highly recommend The Dream Daughter!
