About the Book

While still in high school, Demi gave birth to a baby girl and, feeling she had no other options, put her up for adoption. Having moved on with her life – gotten married and having had two other children – 16 years later, Demi Glenn suddenly cannot get her firstborn daughter out of her mind.

After hiring two private detectives but getting no solid information to go on, Demi turns to the one man who will not come back empty-handed, who will not give up until he finds the answers – David Alexander, a married father of two daughters – the father of the baby she had given up so long ago who had no idea he had sired a child as a teen.

Together, will they be able to find their daughter without their families being torn apart or will fate intervene, upsetting their lives in a way they'd never dreamed in the pursuit of finding the daughter they can no longer live without?

Reviews (Excerpts)

- "A good story, good writing. You know where the story is going but you aren't positive how it will get there. And there is comfort in the knowing and intrigue in the wondering." - Ronovan Writes
- "What a good read. Could not put it down! Anxious to read the next book, can't wait for it to come out. Characters are very authentic and waiting to see what happens next." - Linda Nolan

- "You are in for a treat. Norma Budden does not disappoint. It was a page turner that I simply could not put down. Kudos Norma! This was written beautifully and I was honored to have been selected to read it." - Caity (Amazon)



- "Their hearts are searching for one another and calling out. If only...Absolutely stunningly written. I see a lifetime movie in my head as I read along. Norma always gives us a love story with characters who have morals and that is something that is rare in our over sexualized lives of today. Standing Ovation Norma. I give you 5* all the way." - Karla Bostic

- "What I liked best was that the story showed multiple points of view. This is mainly in how each character responds to the choice made by one person. Emotions run in different directions based on the relationship to the main character. [...]" - Lynn (Amazon)


About the Author

Author Norma Budden
Author Norma Budden
Norma Budden currently makes her home in Arctic Canada where she has lived for more than two decades. Administration Manager by day and writer/mother/grandmother by night, Norma knows what it's like to be busy and appreciates moments of solitude, perhaps, more than the average person.

Though Norma's first serious attempts at writing involved poetry and song, she later went on to write non-fiction titles. However, over recent years, her truest passion seems to be in writing stories to appeal to readers' emotions, with a touch of mystery and romance built into the stories.

Norma is the proud author of the Freedom in Love Series which, currently, has three titles published: An Affair to Remember, When Love Abides and Soul Confessions. Divided Loyalties and The Promise, the fourth and fifth titles of the series, will be released in 2015.
