Two baby girls switched at birth and the truth isn't discovered until they are about 18 months old--old enough to be calling the people who raised them mama and dada. A single mother who loved her late husband so much that she doubts she'll ever find someone to love like that again. A single father whose late wife didn't want to be a mother--so much so that she threatened abortion repeatedly and apparently only didn't go through with it because her husband said he'd divorce her and give her minimal alimony if she harmed their unborn child (she wanted the money and the lifestyle) but who then caused a car accident that took her life, though the child survived.

When the single mother accepts the job of nanny to both the girls so as not to disrupt their lives by exchanging the biological children and ripping them away from the parent they know and recognize, neither realizes that they will also come to care for each other. The author uses the tried and true genre plot of the man thinking all women are like his late wife--only in it for the money/not caring about the child/etc. and insisting that he won't fall for another woman. This goes on far too long and it felt like the author was just marking time to get to the required number of pages.

The little girls are cute. I have no idea if their dialogue is age appropriate. I know some of their antics are. I'm glad they bonded as sisters at such a young age.

When I first saw the name Mrs. Garrett, it reminded me of the TV show "Facts of Life". There was a housemother with that name, who spun off from the TV show "Diff'rent Strokes" where she'd been a housekeeper--except her first name was Edna where this characters first name was Mary. Other than the name and similarity in job titles, there wasn't much in common between the two Garrett characters, but it was a fond memory. ( )
