Children's Literature - Judy Silverman
This book is a real page-turner horror story. We know that tearing a child away from the only parents she's ever known is traumatic, but judges still say that the child will "get over it." What happens, then, to a child who doesn't get over it, who lets her need for her "mommy" rule her life and force her to become a monster, incapable of loving anyone? Mallory Dunne and Kyle Stoddard get pulled into the life of "Baby D" whose adoptive parents died in a terrible fire which she may have caused, and from which she managed to escape. Baby D knows who her mommy is, and she's determined to kill anyone related to the lawyer or judge who separated them all those years ago. Finally, she's ready to kill her mommy's "other" baby, the child who "replaced" her. A contrived happy ending for everyone except Baby D makes this book oddly satisfying.
