'Who would name a child Sunshine, then give her away?'
Chrissie has always wanted to be a mother. After months of trying to adopt, she and her husband Stuart finally get the news that a little girl named Sunshine is waiting for them.

There were some really great characters in the story, Sunshine and Nina being my favourite, but also some really irritating ones like Chrissie and her mother, Diana. An enjoyable read overall.
