Waiting On Wednesday: Leap Of Faith by Jamie Blair

WoW is weekly meme created by Jill at Breaking The Spine in which bloggers can share books they're excited to get soon :)
 
 
 
 
LEAP OF FAITH
by Jamie Blair
 
 
Now that Leah Kurtz has a place to call home, there’s no way she can tell the truth.
 
That her name is Faith, not Leah.
 
That she’s seventeen, not nineteen.
 
That the baby isn’t hers—she kidnapped her.
 
She had to kidnap Addy though. She couldn’t let her newborn sister grow up like she did, with parties where the drugs flow all night and an empty refrigerator in the kitchen holding nothing but pickle juice and ketchup packets inside.
 
She can’t risk losing Chris—the only guy she’s ever given herself to completely—by telling him she’s been lying. He’s the most generous person she’s ever known, and he’s already suffered the tragic deaths of his mom and infant sister.
 
But being on the run with a newborn catches up with her when a cop starts asking questions, and Chris’s aunt finds a newspaper article about Faith and a missing baby. Faith knows it’s time to run again—from Chris and the only place that’s ever felt like home.
 
 
 
 
 
Leap of Faith sounds emotional and heartbreaking and I can't wait to dive in.
Also, I love to read about the bond between sisters, and if one of the sisters happens to be a baby I am not sure my heart can handle the adorableness(?).

  1. Oohhhhh super emotional and heartbreaking!!!! So sweet that she is trying to help her baby sister! But what happens when she gets caught? Will she leave Chris? Hopefully Chris' aunt can adopt them maybe? Great pick!
    My WOW

  2. I'm really glad to read this summary, which isn't the one I saw initially. The first one made it seem (to me) that Faith kidnapped a stranger's baby; it's better to me that it was her sister who she was trying to save from a horrible childhood. I really want to check this one out!
