In the deep woods of East Texas, Henry supports his family by selling bootleg liquor. It's all he can do to keep his compassionate but ailing mother and his stepfather - a fanatical grassroots minister with a bruising rhetoric - from ruin. But they have no idea they've become the obsession of the girl in the woods. Andoned and nearly feral, Eve has been watching them, seduced by the notion of family - something she's known only in the most brutal sense. Soon she can't resist the temptation to get close.

From the day that old Nana Reja found a baby abandoned under a bridge, the life of a small Mexican town forever changed. Disfigured and covered in a blanket of bees, little Simonopio is for some locals the stuff of superstition, a child kissed by the devil. But he is welcomed by landowners Francisco and Beatriz Morales, who adopt him and care for him. As he grows up, Simonopio becomes a cause for wonder to the Morales family, because when the uncannily gifted child closes his eyes, he can see what no one else can - visions of all that’s yet to come, both beautiful and dangerous.

Publisher's Summary
All children's book illustrator Claire Turner ever wanted was to be a mother. After six years of trying to conceive, she and her husband, Josh, have finally accepted that she will never be pregnant with a child of their own.
Yet once they give up hope, the couple gets the miracle they've been waiting for. For the first few months of her pregnancy, Claire and Josh are living on cloud nine. But when she begins to experience debilitating headaches, blurred vision, and even fainting spells, the soon-to-be mother goes to the doctor and receives a terrifying diagnosis. Since any treatment could put their unborn baby's life at risk, the Turners must carefully weigh their limited options. And as her symptoms worsen, Claire will have to make an impossible decision: Save her own life, or save her child's?

Not a fan. Won't read the sequel.
About a weak little woman who must be carried everywhere by her big strong adoring husband. Not relatable for me. I think women are stronger than this under most any circumstances including cancer. Just not my style. Left me feeling disappointed that I finished it out of curiosity.

I found the story to be maudlin and contrived. Reader does an okay job of voicing it, but my gag reflex prevented me from enjoying it, over all. I prefer a writer who is more spare and concise with her/his words

Pretty good story...
Spoilers...I enjoyed the overall story. The subject was touching. However, the ending was way too abrupt.
The narration was excellent. Parts of the story just weren't plausible: Claire's best friend was her doctor? This wouldn't happen as it would be a conflict of interest. That same friend promising she was going to live, no way would a doctor promise that.
Claire's mother has info on Claire's son who was given up for adoption, (just in case and for whenever Claire was ready for it?) yet whenever Claire would try to bring up the subject, her mother refused to speak of it. This made NO sense to me and was totally contradictory.
I felt more attention should have been devoted to the ending as it was a let down and anticlimactic.

seems like a childish book w/ unrea list if charac
I struggled to read from the first few pages until I finally gave up not even probably a quarter in. the characters seemed so childish and simplistic and very one dimensional. I couldn't feel any of the characters emotions. it seemed like a child's view of life and adults- so simplistic and lacking any different aspects of the characters. they were all all or nothing and dull.

Slow and predictable
The overall story is really good. I like the well developed characters. The audio performance was really good. This book is well written, but my problem is that it’s fairly obvious what the problem is. The entire story drags. The plot is very predictable, and I was waiting for the resolution before the problem was presented. The tension between the main couple seemed forced after everything they’d been through before, but eventually made mor
