Hope Tanner escaped from her polygamous community in Superior, Utah, ten years ago – pregnant and alone. She ended up at The Birth Place in Enchantment, New Mexico, where Lydia Kane, the clinic's founder, handled the private adoption of her baby. A baby Hope never held… and never stopped thinking about. Now Hope briefly returns to her hometown to help her pregnant younger sister, Faith, escape, too. They need somewhere to go, a sanctuary. Where but The Birth Place? Faith can have her baby in safety and Hope can revisit old friends. Like Lydia – and the handsome Parker Reynolds. But Parker, the birth center's administrator and a widowed single father, isn't pleased to see Hope back in Enchantment. He's even less pleased when Lydia offers her a job. Hope doesn't understand his animosity. In fact, she almost wonders if he has something to hide… Originally published in 2003.
