RATED 4.5 STARS
Kate sees a little girl in the window of her apartment
building and it is the first step to a relationship that she never saw
coming. Kate has lost her job, thinks
she may lose her boyfriend and worries about going on unemployment.
Her neighbor asks her to watch the little girl, Jenny who
the neighbor refers to as Creephead and she reluctantly agrees.
Jenny has difficulty communicating so she does so with her
doll Miranda and Kate seems to be able to break through to the child by talking
directly to Miranda as if it is no big deal.
Nobody is exactly sure what Jenny has been through. They only know that her mom left her and is
nowhere to be found. Kate slowly builds
a relationship and helps Jenny scale the wall that she has surrounded herself
with only to be thrown into a situation that is dangerous and frightening.

I really liked this book.
Kate was in a no win situation and still she opens her heart to
Jenny. She was torn and didn’t always do
the exact right thing but in the end, she did.
Jenny was well written as a child who has been through too
much and doesn’t trust relationships.
Her use of the doll to communicate was a coping mechanism that children
do use.
Speaking of the doll, I think Miranda was my favorite
character. She told it like it was and
really helped Jenny through a tough time.
The boyfriend, I was not crazy about. He was in love with Kate or was he? Was he a commitmentphobe or on the brink of
making a commitment? Could he open his
heart to the new situation or would he just walk away from Kate? It was hard to figure him out so I had a hard
time liking him but in the end he redeemed himself.
This book had an entertaining story and I would recommend
that you read it. You can buy it here: Amazon
