Book summary

In this debut thriller, an impulsive heroic act destroys everything a young woman thought she knew about her past. While waiting for a cab one day, New York journalist Ridley Jones prevents a small child from being crushed underneath the wheels of a van. When her picture gets splashed on the news, it attracts all kinds of unexpected attention: from her ex-boyfriend, Zack, a gorgeous but potentially creepy neighbor, Jake, and a letter and photo from someone who wonders if Ridley is her daughter. But Ridley's not adopted...is she?
