Since November 2009Book Review: A Sister's Gift by Giselle Green
Posted on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 by Leah
Hollie Hudson is happily married to husband Richard but craves one thing desperately: a baby. It’s all she’s ever dreamed about since she was a little girl and the fact she’s incapable of having a baby is driving her to distraction. After happening upon a leaflet for a surrogate Hollie comes up with the answer to all of her problems: she’ll ask her sister Scarlett to be her surrogate.
Scarlett, however, is nothing like homebody Hollie and has spent a couple of years in the Amazon rainforest desperate to come up with a solution to stop the rainforest being destroyed. Once PlanetLove, the organisation Scarlett works for, is taken over by a new group, Scarlett finds herself back in England to renew her visa and to try and raise money before heading back to Brazil. After Hollie asks Scarlett to be her surrogate, Scarlett realises she could raise the money she needs sooner than she thinks… Just how far will the two sisters go to realise their dreams?

Author Melanie Rose first came to my attention when I read her fabulous debut novel 
Adriana Trigiani’s novel Very Valentine is released in paperback this week (4th February), and has a brand new look too, and is very different from Adriana’s previous covers. Perhaps this will open up the appeal to her books to more readers, and I know I would certainly look twice at this book thanks to the new cover design. I much prefer it to the hardback version (right) and its nice to see publishers realise the cover of a book is becoming more and more important! Which do you prefer?
