New mother Rebecca Gray has it harder than most. A recent widow whose own mother has passed away, she's almost totally blind, yet she's confident she can raise baby Jackson on her own. So when she rises from a nap to find the baby in the crib is not, in fact, Jackson, she's both terrified and determined to find him. It won't be easy, though, since both the police and her friends are sure she's mistaken. Her friend, Crystal, another widow, is having parenting problems of her own, with a 10-year-old daughter who has become difficult since her father died. Can Rebecca convince Crystal that Jackson has been switched with another baby? Frey (Because You're Mine, 2019), who has written nonfiction as well, is a rising star in the suspense scene, and by telling the story through the eyes of a woman who can't see, she adds a unique element, in addition to pulling at heartstrings with which every new mother can identify. Give to fans of Kelly Rimmer, Diane Chamberlain, or Chris Bohjalian.
Publisher's Weekly Review
A host of woes afflict Rebecca Gray, the narrator of this affecting domestic thriller from Frey (Because You're Mine). Nearly blind from a degenerative eye disease, Rebecca is a recent widow and the mother of a three-month-old boy, Jackson. As she struggles with her increasing blindness, grief, and exhaustion, she's sure someone is following her. One day, she leaves her house in Elmhurst, Ill., to take Jackson to the park in his stroller. After a fainting spell, she checks the baby in the stroller and realizes from touching him that he's not Jackson. The police, however, think she's confused, while her friends see no differences. Stuck with a colicky baby she's sure isn't hers, Rebecca is determined to find her son. Fortunately, homicide detective Jake Donovan, Rebecca's childhood friend and ex-boyfriend, reenters her life and helps her try to discover why someone would swap a baby, if in fact she's right and the child she now cares for isn't hers. The answer may lie among Rebecca's circle of friends, some of whom are hiding dark secrets. Frey keeps the tension high until the surprising denouement. This emotional roller coaster satisfies.
