Life Happens

by Sandra Steffen

She's Hiding Something…
Well, everyone is hiding something—but Mya Donohue's secret is knocking on the front door, in no uncertain terms. Mya is about to answer to the daughter she'd given birth to nineteen years ago, and Elle has news for her biological mother. Mya is not only a mom, but a grandmother, too. And Elle isn't sticking around for long. She can't.
Offering Mya their assistance are her best friends—the only ones who will dare tell her the truth in unmitigated terms; her mother—a woman still sowing her own share of wild oats; and Elle's father—a man of few words, but usually memorable ones, at that. ( Mya's current fiancé has conveniently decided to take a long walk.)

Reviews

[Joyce]

This was a surprisingly powerful story written by a talented author. Not your usual "Harlequin" style story.

What would someone who hasn’t read your book need to know at this point?

They will need to know that Mya has a daughter name Elle and she gave her up for adoption when she was born. Also that Elle came to Mya house unexpected and Elle has a daughter name Kaylie. Finally Elle just found out that Mya has cancer because Elle was in the bathroom taking non-Hodgkin pills. So now Elle is looking for a bone marrow donor before it’s too late.

Is this a book that you will continue reading or recommend 1to someone else? Why or why not?

This is a book that I will continue reading because this is a interesting book and I can feel what they is going through because my granddad had cancer and he died from it.

4.5 stars! I simply loved this book. I could not put it down. A tearjerker that has that knack to also make you smile at the same time. The secondary and tertiary characters came up a little empty, but to me, that didn't even matter. And oh what a great ending!

[Jennifer Labao]

A beautiful story about a girl's search for her birth mother with a twist no body saw coming !

[Wanda Myers]

this was a good book except the editor or whoever fell down on the job, passages unfinished, bad spelling about 15 to 19 mistakes....
