When Carly Sears, a young woman widowed by the Vietnam war, receives the news that her unborn baby girl 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 every 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 boundaries of faith and science to deliver a novel that you will never forget. Praise for The Dream Daughter: "Chamberlain writes with supernatural gifts ...fate, destiny, chance and hope combine for a heady and breathless wonder of a read." ―Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Orphan's Tale "Can a story be both mind-bending and heartfelt? In Diane Chamberlain’s hands, it can. The Dream Daughter will hold readers in anxious suspense until the last satisfying page." ―Therese Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of Z Review: Must Read! - I have been obsessed with Diane Chamberlain book since 2014. So far I’ve read 20 of her books including this one. I follow Diane on Facebook and I knew that her next book was going to be a time travel novel. I was extremely nervous. She had never written anything with a this kind of element before and I had no idea how it was going to work. I’m not a huge sci-fi fan and time travel can often can be confusing. Going into this book I thought this book was going to be a big flop for me. Boy was I wrong. This book is addicting! I couldn’t stop reading! I’m a third grade teacher and most school nights I’m lucky if I read anything. I read this whole book in one sitting on a school night. If that doesn’t say everything already, keep reading this review. The pages just melt away like butter. They are so easy to take in and Diane includes so many elements that make you want to keep reading to find out what is going to happen next. So many times, I kept saying “One more chapter” because I had chores around the house to do. Well one more chapter turned into reading the whole book. I couldn’t put it down. The characters and settings were really unique. It was interesting to see how characters translated or changed based off of the time frame they were set in or transitioned to. It was obvious when we had a 1970s character in a present like time frame or a present time frame character in the 1970s. It just showed how good of a writer Diane Chamberlain is. When we were in 2001, I felt transported back to when I was 11 and what the world was like then. I found myself really caring for and empathizing with the characters and freaking out whenever events would occur for them. The sci-fi elements made me the most nervous going into this book. I was scared they would either be too confusing, unrealistic, and not done in a way that I could understand. Diane Chamberlain wrote it this time travel in a very simple way that will let contemporary fans and sci-fi fans alike to access this type of story, which I really appreciated. Overall Diane Chamberlain will stay one of my favorite authors. If you haven’t given her a chance yet, this is the one to try! I will continue to gloat and rave about her. My viewers of my youtube channel always ask me which one I recommend, and I will be recommending this one for a while! Can’t wait for her to come up with something else! Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with an early copy of this book. Review: What Would You Do For Those You Love? - Life has been hard for Carly Sears. Her husband Joe, her childhood sweetheart, had gone to Vietnam and been killed two weeks later. That knocked the pins out from under Carly's world. She gives up her physical therapist job and goes to live with her sister and brother-in-law in the family's beach cottage in Nags Head, North Carolina. The family support and familiar surroundings start to help Carly find her footing and then she finds that she is pregnant. All her hopes are now focused on the baby which will be her living tie to Joe. But fate isn't done with Carly yet. In a routine checkup, she gets horrific news. Her baby has a heart defect and will only live a few days after birth. Reeling, Carly is about to give up when her brother-in-law, Hunter, comes to her with a strange story. Hunter had come into her life as a patient when he was found with a broken ankle and hospitalized. Carly worked with him and got him back on his feet and introduced him to her sister. Now Hunter tells her something that she cannot believe. Hunter's background has always been a bit mysterious, something he won't talk about. Now he tells Carly that his mother had perfected time travel and he has come back from the future in the early 2000's. When he fell in love and married, he decided to stay but he can get Carly to the future where her baby's heart can be operated on in utero and fixed before birth. Carly can't believe it but decides to trust Hunter. Everything works as he promises and her baby is born and starts doing well in the newborn intensive care. Carly has to go back but vows to return quickly to her baby and bring her back to the coast. But when Hunter sends her forward again, instead of returning to 2001, she ends up in 2011, her baby long gone. Carly tracks the baby down and finds a way to meet her. Her daughter is now a lovely, healthy ten year old with loving adopted parents. Should Carly stay with her daughter? Should she take her back with her to the past? Whenever I read a time travel book, I just suspend disbelief since the science is never going to work out. To me, this was a book about a mother's love for her daughter and about what one will do for the people they love. Carly always makes the best out of what life throws her and is focused on those she loves and what is best for them. This book is recommended for readers of women's fiction. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #233,961 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,203 in Mothers & Children Fiction #1,889 in Women's Domestic Life Fiction #13,507 in American Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 7,725 Reviews | ## Images ![The Dream Daughter: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816vvNgEdmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Read! *by N***K on October 2, 2018* I have been obsessed with Diane Chamberlain book since 2014.
