Chosen a novel

A young caseworker becomes increasingly entangled in the lives of adoptive and birth parents, with devastating results. It all begins with a fantasy: the caseworker in her "signing paperwork" charcoal suit, standing alongside beaming parents cradling their adopted newborn. It's this blissful picture that keeps Chloe Pinter, director of the Chosen Child's domestic-adoption program, happy while juggling the high demands of her boss and the incessant needs of both adoptive and biological parents. But the very job that offers her refuge from her turbulent personal life and Portland's winter rains soon becomes a battleground involving three very different couples. When a child goes missing, dreams dissolve into nightmares, and everyone is forced to examine what he or she really wants and where it all went wrong.--From publisher description.

  • "Młoda pracownica ośrodka adopcyjnego zaczyna niebezpiecznie angażować się w życie adopcyjnych i biologicznych rodziców. Jak daleko odważą się posunąć, by osiągnąć swój cel? Chloe Pinter ma idealistyczne podejście do swojego zawodu. Wizja szczęśliwych par tulących adoptowane dzieci pomaga jej radzić sobie z wygórowanymi oczekiwaniami szefowej oraz biologicznych i adopcyjnych rodziców. Praca, która stanowi dla Chloe ucieczkę przed skomplikowanym życiem osobistym, zamienia się w pole walki pomiędzy trzema parami: zamożnym małżeństwem, które wcześniej miało problemy z płodnością, a teraz oczekuje narodzin dziecka; zapracowanym biznesmenem i jego zdesperowaną żoną, dla której adopcja jest ostatnią szansą na macierzyństwo; oraz parą z nizin społecznych, nieposiadającą niczego oprócz dziecka, po które wszyscy wyciągają ręce. Splot zaskakujących zdarzeń prowadzi do niebezpiecznego finału."
