The bond between a parent and child is as complicated as it is strong, and in Patricia Kay's novel, The Wrong Child, the reader is caught up in the emotional whirlwind that surrounds two families. Abbie and her eleven year old daughter, Kendall, recently moved back to Abbie's hometown. Kendall never really knew the father who abandoned her and Abbie, but she has grown into a strong, self sufficient child with the mother who adores her.
With the help of her dad, Logan, Erin is just getting over the loss of her mother several years ago. Logan has spent these last few years trying to be the best parent possible to Erin and her brother Patrick, even as the loss of his wife still tears him apart. Extended family helps the children come to terms with their loss, but Logan realizes that Erin still has a great deal to work out before she feels safe again.
When an innocent blood test leads Abbie to a life altering discovery, the lives of these two families cross paths, and author Kay tells a story that captures our hearts and keeps us rooting for a happy ending. This emotion packed story is well written and the characters are beautifully described. The author gets into the minds of these unhappy people and lays all emotions on the table. This is a cathartic read that will keep your interest until the very last page.
