The Spring family wants justice, but who is really to blame? The Johnsons know that they must abide by the court decisions made, but it's difficult to figure out what's best for everyone.Janie Johnson or Jenny Spring? Who is she? Certainly there's enough love for everyone, but how can the two separate families live happily ever after?The members of two families have their lives disrupted when a teenage girl who had been kidnapped twelve years earlier discovers that the people who raised her are not her biological parents. Sequel to "The Face on the Milk Carton."
- My Honest Review:
- The second books to the Janie Johnson series, was NOT as good as the first book. It seemed to drag alot. It wasn't as mysterious and suspenseful as the first. Although I did like the focus on Janie trying to learn about her biological family.
- I like the way this story went and how it ended with Janie. But finding out how old she really is was probably a really big shock to her. Although she said she always felt younger than what everybody thought she was.
- If you have read The Face on the Milk Carton. Definately pick up the sequel but otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. I am going to continue with this series. Because I like finishing series. This one just wasn't the best one. I am hoping the next book turns out good. But I think she is going to stretch this story in every way.
