Synopsis: When Carly Sears, a young woman widowed by the Vietnam War, receives the news that her unborn baby has a heart defect, she is devastated. It is 1970, and she is told that nothing can be done to help her child. But her brother-in-law, a physicist with a mysterious past, tells her that perhaps there is a way to save her baby. What he suggests is something that will shatter ever preconceived notion that Carly has. Something that will require a kind of strength and courage she never knew existed. Something that will mean an unimaginable leap of faith on Carly's part.

And all for the love of her unborn child.

The Dream Daughter is a rich, genre-spanning, breathtaking novel about one mother's quest to save her child, unite her family, and believe in the unbelievable. Diane Chamberlain pushes the boundary of faith and science to deliver a novel that you will never forget.

Review: Diane Chamberlain is one of my go-to authors because she doesn't disappoint. The Dream Daughter captured my attention in the prologue, and it was hard to put down. 

This is my new favorite Diane Chamberlain novel. I loved it so much, and I read the last few chapters slowly, not wanting to leave this characters behind.

Time travel is a new theme for Chamberlain, and also not something I typically buy into, but she pulled it off masterfully.

I'm finding out I really enjoy reading books set in the 1970s as well. Check out Kristin Hannah's The Great Alone for another.
