Nobody's Child by Austin Boyd

Laura Ann McGehee tries to save the family farm in the only way she knew how but wonders if anyone in her small corner of Appalacia will understand. It appears her sacrifice wasn't enough and she might lose the farm after losing her father despite all she's given up.

Her good friend, Ian Stewart, has her back against impossible odds, but he can only do so much as a friend...even though he would like to be so much more.

When Laura's options appear to be at an end, the sound of gravel crunching under the tires of an expensive car peak her interest. When the woman driving the car steps out in professional dress and heals, Laura knows Sophia McQuistion is either lost or came here for a purpose.

Sophia's plan soon becomes clear to Laura, but what they to do with this information. A freak series of circumstances work to place Sophia's son in Laura's care. Laura's biological son is now hers to mother, but someone desperately wants to keep that from happening.

In this bioethics suspense novel, Austin Boyd takes us to the edge of morality and beyond. Nobody's Child is the first in The Pandora Files dealing with bioethical questions and where they might eventually lead. Well done, Boyd, I found the issues timely and delivered in a realistic setting which led one to wonder how does one get out of these sticky stituations created by our advanced technology but outside the bounds of morality.
