My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Written in the Stars (Mothers and Daughters Collection) by Angela Christina Archer. I loved this book. Its the story of 17 year old Betty Hamilton who has gotten pregnant out of wedlock in the 1950’s which is taboo. She was dropped off at Dartmouth Home for Wayward Girls all alone with nothing to her name but her baby. Once the baby is born she is taken away from Betty and given to a family to be adopted in a closed adoption and Betty is sent home with nothing. Years later Marlena is a young girl whose father is really sick and Marlena thinks she can help him. When she realizes she can’t she is also told she was adopted. Marlena is heartbroken and feels like she has been lied to all these years. Marlena sets out to find her adoptive mom and finds out lots of secrets along the way. Will she find her adoptive mom before its too late or will Betty die never knowing the child she loved and gave birth too? Read Written in the Stars to find out!
