Mary Simpson is shocked to see a message posted on an Internet adoption site from Joan Foster-the baby she gave up thirty-five years ago. While she is thrilled to hear from her daughter, the message jolts Mary back in me to the confusing days that began sweetly with innocent naïveté and sadly ended with harsh reality.
As a teenager growing up in the late sixties, Mary is a gentle girl with eyes the shade of a clear summer sky. But when Mary's hippie neighbour introduces her to members of a religious cult, her life suddenly changes forever. Lured into the sect by Christopher, the handsome and sly leader of a God's Children tribe, Mary experiences a horrendous year that culminates in the creation of a new life and subsequently an unbearable decision.
Now many years later, her daughter, Joan, is desperate to find her-for now it is a matter of life and death. Both mother and daughter go through a tremendous transformation as their lives intertwine during a time of shared crisis. As they frantically search for hope, they discover their souls and now understand the true meaning of love.

A Child of God
Chapter One
November 2005
Throughout this brisk but bright November afternoon, Mary Simpson does not budge from her den. She's working on an extremely important private matter in the comfort of her home office. While balancing her computer on her lap, she rests on her beautiful, cream-coloured, upholstered couch, her back supported by its large, rounded arm, and her legs stretched out comfortably. A multicoloured, granny-squared afghan gently blankets over her. She appreciates the lovely warmth coming from the gas fireplace as she sips away on her lemon tea, taking in its heavenly aroma. However, something keeps worrying her, not allowing her to continue enjoying these wonderful comforts.
Mary stares at a new site of listings on her laptop. "If only her name would appear," she says to herself while slowly shaking her head. She looks up for a moment and glances at the old mahogany rolltop desk that sits under the wide bay window across from her. That desk is one of her most treasured possessions. Her beloved Grandmother Kate bequeathed it to her when she passed away many years ago. Sitting on top of the desk is an ornately framed photograph of her Grandmother Kate smiling while holding Mary as a baby. Next to that picture is a silver framed photo of her wonderful parents, Norm and Norma, who tragically died in a small plane crash in Bermuda back in 1972. Staring at her parents' picture, a tear rolls down her cheek. Why could I not tell them that they had a granddaughter? Wiping the tear off her face, she quickly gets back to task and clicks away until she finds another website of listings.
