{my thoughts} – I really liked this book. This book was another quick read in my opinion. It picks up where the first lets off. The aftermath of the results to the first book. Janie is forced to go live with her biological family and with that she has to wait 3 months before she can talk to anyone from the family in which she was raised. She struggles with her identity wanting to make both families proud of her, then she wants revenge against her biological family because they took her away from her family and eventually they allow her to go back to her family knowing that they will not be able to keep her as a part of their family. That she has a family and they love her just like they love the children in their family. Janie near then end of the book actually puts forth the effort to do things with the biological family but then in the end turns against them and begs to go back home. I have to admit it is a sad story and for it being the second time I have read it – it made my cry in parts. It’s a nice read and I am sure anyone would enjoy it as a light reading addition.

{reason for reading} - I had read this book back in High School and decided I wanted to re-read it since I discovered there were two more books to the series I hadn’t known about in the beginning. ( )

This is the 2nd book in the Janie Johnson series, and I loved it just as much as the 1st! In this book, Janie/Jenny is being forced to cut off ties with the family and friends she has spent her whole life with to move in with her rightful family. As you can assume, things don't go very well. Janie/Jenny does not adjust easily into this new life. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. ( )
