11 years ago during a blizzard, two baby girls were born. And all these years, a terrible secret has lay undiscovered. But two families will be disrupted when the truth is finally revealed. Accidentally, the two baby girls were switched in the hospital the night they were born, each raised in a loving home with parents who didn't give birth to her.
Abbie Bernard, tormented when she learns the shocking truth of her daughter Kendall's true parentage, tracks down Logan O'Connell, the widower father of the other baby girl from that night 11 years ago. Abbie's daughter by birth. Together, Abbie and Logan must not only face the shock that the child each has raised is not his or her own birth child, but they must find a way to face an uncertain future without losing the children they have come to know and love as their own.
A magnificent, touching read that stirs the heart, "THE WRONG CHILD" sensitively addresses every parent's worst nightmare. "What if the child you've raised isn't your own? What if your own child was raised by a stranger? What if your child was switched at birth?" Ms. Kay has a winner in this wonderful story!

Switched at Birth

Abbie Bernard loves her daughter Kendall and so when Kendall gets sick she wants to make her better. She takes her to the doctor and when the blood test comes back it turnes out that Kendall is not her biological daughter.

When she gets the news she calls the newspaper in the town that Kendall was born in finds out the name of the other girl born the same night as Kendall and goes to visit Logan O'Connell Kendall's biological father and after several days tells him about the switch.

After several months Logan comes up with a way for them to be with the daughter that they raised and their biological children. Kendall is thrilled when the news comes out that Abbie and Logan were married. Erin, Abbies biological daughter is less than thrilled and runs away when the news comes out that Abbie is actually her biological mother.

Everything works out in the end though.

Swaped Babies

How would you handle it, if you were not given your child to take home from the hospital & didn't find out until later in life. It can be horrible or it can be okay. Depends on who you are & how you deal with things. This is a great book.
