Jessie Roland always knew that her feelings for her parents--dislike and disgust for her mother, less than love for her father--were anything but what a child should feel, especially for the parents that had given her a privileged childhood filled with private schooling, lavish vacations, and any gift that her heart desired. But try as she might, something always kept her from truly loving the Rolands. Strange dreams of a yellow dog and a stroller hinted at the truth, but Jessie couldn't recall the fateful day when Thea and Barnes Roland had stolen her from her stroller, leaving her pet retriever Jelly to chase after their car for miles, only to return to Jessie's stunned parents without the golden-haired little girl. Now a woman, and armed with a sizeable trust fund, Jessie moves far away from her parents to start a new life in Washington, D.C., where a new job, new apartment, and a new man awaits her. Tanner Kingsley is handsome, charming, and hiding something. Jessie's involvement with him will lead to happiness, heartache, and the full realization of her hidden past--a past she must come to terms with before she can find true peace.

i have never read any thing like this one it was out of this world
This book was so interesting from the beginning and sad from the start. It has a terrific story line and slyly plotted. While your reading this you'll feel sadness along with happiness. Definitely a novel with a lot of mixed emotions and an excellent must buy must read !!
I love all of Fern Michaels books. I rate my books 1-5 with 5 being top. Almost all her books are 5's. Wonderful story.
I really enjoy Fern Michaels books. This book I read in one sitting.
I just couldn't put it down.
I just couldn't put it down.
Kidnapped as a baby & then the victim of an overbearing, over-protective, domineering mother, Jessie must persist in order to survive--but will she prevail? Jessie survives & eventually manages to prevail--but not without her share of bumps & bruises--& also some rather unsettling events along the way.
I absolutely loved this book! I really got into it. Unfortunately it has so many skips in it, I had to miss a lot of the parts. I couldn't find another copy, so I just tortured myself through the skipping parts and finally got past them. This book is NOT going on my bookshelf, but it does get my excellent review!
