From bestselling author Diane Chamberlain comes an irresistible new novel. When Caroline Sears receives the news that her unborn baby girl has a heart defect, she is devastated. It is 1970 and there seems to be little that can be done. But her brother-in-law, a physicist, tells her that perhaps there is. Hunter appeared in their lives just a few years before—and his appearance was as mysterious as his past. With no family, no friends, and a background shrouded in secrets, Hunter embraced the Sears family and never looked back. Now, Hunter is telling her that something can be done about her baby's heart. Something that will shatter every preconceived notion that Caroline has. Something that will require a kind of strength and courage that Caroline never knew existed. Something that will mean a mind-bending leap of faith on Caroline's part. And all for the love of her unborn child. A rich, genre-spanning, breathtaking novel about one mother's quest to save her child, unite her family, and believe in the unbelievable. Diane Chamberlain pushes the boundaries of faith and science to deliver a novel that you will never forget.

0SECOND FAVORITE DIANE CHAMBERLAIN BOOK!!!
I think I've read more than two but suddenly I'm not so sure even though I'm staring at a shelf that holds 8 of Diane Chamberlain's books. I'm very slow when it comes to reading what I own but I'm very good at collecting books from the authors that I've come to love.
This one I requested as an E-ARC from Netgalley when it came across my screen one day and I'm so appreciative that I was granted an opportunity to read it. Now I apologize for being late with the review - let's just say certain adulting things got in the way of my hobbies.
The Dream Daughter was amazing! I did not expect that ending and I did not expect that twist in the middle - I couldn't imagine going through what our protagonist went through, at any point in her life. This book is inspiring me to go back and read those books that I own by Diane and haven't read yet.
0Beautiful story of how love can bridge any time and distance. I can't say more without giving away major parts of the story (and I don't want to do that for anyone who hasn't had a chance to read this yet). There are very few books that make me cry, but this one made me misty-eyed.
My heart broke several times for Caroline (Carly) as she found herself in situations where she had to make hard choices. Ultimately, things worked out as they should, but she had to go through a lot of heartbreak and make some tough decisions to get there. The book wrapped it all up nicely, but it was really emotionally difficult to get to that part.
This story flows so well and reads so quickly, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to escape their time for a while.
