"THE EDGE OF BELONGING" BY AMANDA COX

"The Edge of Belonging" by Amanda Cox

Synopsis:

When Ivy Rose returns to her hometown to oversee an estate sale, she soon discovers that her grandmother left behind more than trinkets and photo frames--she provided a path to the truth behind Ivy's adoption. Shocked, Ivy seeks clues to her past, but a key piece to the mystery is missing.

Twenty-four years earlier, Harvey James finds an abandoned newborn who gives him a sense of human connection for the first time in his life. His desire to care for the baby runs up against the stark fact that he is homeless. When he becomes entwined with two people seeking to help him find his way, Harvey knows he must keep the baby a secret or risk losing the only person he's ever loved.

In this dual-time story from debut novelist Amanda Cox, the truth--both the search for it and the desire to keep it from others--takes center stage as Ivy and Harvey grapple with love, loss, and letting go.

My Thoughts:

"The Edge of Belonging" comes highly recommended by my friends who have read it, and from what I’ve heard about it, along with its first couple of chapters I read, my star prediction for this book is four, maybe five stars. I love this book's adoption and redemption themes.

I've added this to my list of books to read as soon as possible and I'll update this blog post as soon as I finish reading it and collect my thoughts on it.

Thank you NetGalley and Revell for sending me a complimentary copy of this book to read and review!
