Book Cover & Preview Text
In March of 1945, two months before the war ended, Margaret sat perched on the examining table, buttoning up the top of her dress, facing Dr. Smith, who had cared for her since she was a child. The news was devastating, as the doctor turned to face her with what conceivably she did not want to believe but somehow, she sensed was coming.

About the Book
Every October 17th she said a prayer, and the memories came flooding back all over again. For 68 years, a secret was kept buried deep inside her heart; the face of a baby girl, whose birthday it was. She had no pictures to look at, no keepsakes, just images in her mind, flashbacks of a time her heart was broken.
