Mother-to-be Tamara Ames is 16, alone, and determined to make a better life for her child when she arrives in an Oregon lumber town. When she falls victim to a diabolical scheme to steal her newborn baby from her, she is not about to give her child up without a fight, even if she has to take on the wealthiest family in town.
In “Tamara’s Child,” B K Mayo weaves from sensuous detail a storyline as gritty and complex as life itself. Loss, treachery, greed, even murder play roles in this riveting tale. But in the end, it is the redemptive value of unconditional love that drives the pivotal action of the novel.
Finalist in the Popular Fiction category of the 2010 National Indie Excellence Book Awards.
Midwest Book Review says, “Tamara’s Child is a thought provoking and heart string jerking tale that should not be passed up.”
One part suspense, one part drama, and wholly satisfying, “Tamara’s Child” plumbs the psyche of a dynamic cast of characters, some motivated by self-interest, some by self-sacrifice, some by self-doubt, but all clinging to the hope that they can ultimately wring from life the happiness and fulfillment that has thus far been denied them.
From the Reviewers:
