HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO SAVE YOUR FAMILY?As soon as Gail and Jon Durbin bring home their adopted baby Maya, she becomes the glue that mends their fractured marriage. But the Durbin's social worker, Paige, can't find the teenage birth mother to sign the consent forms. By law, Carli has seventy-two hours to change her mind. Without her signature, the adoption will unravel. Carli is desperate to pursue her dreams, so giving her baby a life with the Durbins seems like the right choice--until her own mother throws down an ultimatum. Soon Carli realizes how few choices she has. As the hours tick by, Paige knows that the Durbins' marriage won't survive the loss of Maya, but everyone's life is shattered when they--and baby Maya--disappear without a trace. Filled with heartrending turns, Other People's Children is a riveting page-turner you'll find impossible to put down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeff Hoffmann was born and raised in St. Louis and received an MFA in fiction from Columbia College Chicago.
