Waiting on Wednesday (131) - Someone Else's Life by Katie Dale

Waiting on Wednesday is a topic brought to life by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. With Waiting On Wednesday you get to introduce to everyone upcoming books you're excited about!

Someone Else's Life by Katie Dale
Coming February 14th 2012 by Delacorte Books for Young Readers

When 17-year-old Rosie's mother, Trudie, dies from Huntington's Disease, her pain is intensified by the knowledge that she has a fifty percent chance of inheriting the crippling disease herself. Only when Rosie tells her mother's best friend, "Aunt Sarah," that she is going to test for the disease does Sarah, a midwife, reveal that Trudie wasn't her real mother after all. Rosie was swapped at birth with a sickly baby who was destined to die.

Devastated, Rosie decides to trace her real mother, joining her ex-boyfriend on his gap year travels, to find her birth mother in California. But all does not go as planned. As Rosie discovers yet more of her family's deeply buried secrets and lies, she is left with an agonizing decision of her own, one which will be the most heart breaking and far-reaching of all.

This was a book after I read the description my jaw drop and I absolutely wanted to read it now. It sounds absolutely brilliant!!


What are you guys waiting on?

This book does sound intruding. To find out your mom is not your birth mom after losing her would be devastating.
