The Baby Thief

Overview

As a thirty-two-year-old, single restaurant manager, Jenna McClure is all too aware of her ticking biological clock.

More About This Book

Overview

As a thirty-two-year-old, single restaurant manager, Jenna McClure is all too aware of her ticking biological clock. Elizabeth Demauer, a fertility clinic doctor, helps her patients bear children — a joy she can never share. But these two women have more in common than just a yearning for motherhood. When they cross paths, Elizabeth sees not only the sister she never knew existed but the once-in-a-lifetime chance to realize her deepest desire…by any means necessary.

Together with her lover — a rogue physician and charismatic cult leader — Elizabeth masterminds the ultimate theft. But their carefully laid plans could be derailed by Eric Troutman, the heroic reporter who’s fallen in love with Jenna and will stop at nothing to solve her sudden disappearance. And the more his relentless investigation tightens the noose around Elizabeth and David, the more their “victimless crime” threatens to become anything but.

Editorial Reviews

Midwest Book Review
"This is a powerful, highly recommended and cautionary tale about the dark side of fertility science. When two different childless women (one unable to find Mr. Right, the other unable to conceive at all) decide to have babies via fertility clinic instead of more traditional routes events spiral out of control in cycles of mounting tragedy. From first page to last, Beyond Conception is a gripping look at how modern science can bring out the sordid aspects of human nature.”
Marlyn Beebe
“This is a gripping, read-in-one-sitting story. Highly recommended!”—Marlyn Beebe, librarian
Victoria Cottlidge
“This is an excellent piece of suspense work…a pulse pounding, thrill ride, can’t put down, page-turner of a novel.”—Readersviewpoint.com

I just finished The Baby Thief, 5 stars!! It was GREAT!! I couldn’t hardly put it down.—Dawn Korzekwa, blogger/reviewer

    Goob book; great characterization

    In The Baby Thief, when Jenna MClure walks into Dr. Elizabeth Demauer's office, hoping that the doctor will aid her quest to have a baby, it sets off a series of events that will change the lives of both women forever.

    A violent robbery shatters the calm safety of Jenna's world. In the aftermath, she meets with a reporter Eric Troutman, who may hold the promise of a bright future. Elizabeth is a troubled young woman, with a secret connection to Jenna's past. Jenna has something she wants. Elizabeth jeopardizes her future and practice to have it. She's caught in the spell of a disgraced Dr. David Carmichael, who carries out medical experiments in a secretive religious community. Jenna, Elizabeth and David are all hiding secrets and Eric is on a determined quest to learn everything.

    This is the first L.J.Sellers' book I have read, but it will not be the last. She is brilliant at sketching her characters in full, most of them beautiful but all inherently flawed. It is easy to feel sympathy for everyone, even her villains, who let their pride and desires guide them to commit unspeakable crimes. L.J. Sellers is also a master at pacing and knows how to keep a reader engrossed.
