”Invisible red threads run between hearts that are destined to
meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. The threads
may stretch or tangle, but will never break” - Ancient Chinese
belief
Is a family defined by the genetic structure of its individual
members, or it is characterized by fate, devotion, and
mysterious magnetism?
In
Between Hearts,
author C. Barry Denham fashions a thoughtful novel around some
troubling statistics: It is said that over 12 million baby girls
are unaccounted for in China. Many more are housed in orphanages
across the country. This gripping novel takes you on a journey
that spans the globe. Erik, a single man from Atlanta, Georgia,
adopts a baby girl from China. Mei Lei, a beautiful Chinese
athlete, is brutally assaulted and culturally disgraced as her
baby, the product of the attack, is cruelly taken from her. Ten
years later, Mei Lei arrives in Atlanta for an athletic
competition, and that is when she meets Erik for the first
time…and his daughter, with a familiar half-moon birthmark. You
will be enthralled as you encounter the attraction Erik and Mei
Lei have for each other and the many obstacles that threaten to
rip their two hearts apart. As Mei Lei yearns to discover the
whereabouts of her missing child, she realizes a dream she never
before imagined was possible, and finds that the little girl has
known the truth all along.
