I got started reading it with the usual "I'll just read the first couple of paragraphs," trap. Uh-huh. Next thing I know, I'm a quarter of the way into it (my kindle lets me know where I am, percentage-wise in a book). Well, it was flowing pretty good, so I just let it keep goin', and I kept on readin'. It was a fairly long session, but I finished it in one sitting, because it was easy reading. Debbie White's style is easy to follow and I just glide along with few hitches.In this story, Pat is a middle-aged woman who is finally facing a mid-life crisis regarding her early life history. She was adopted, and in fact, her early life is shrouded in mystery and she has reason to suspect that family members have lied to her about her true life story all of her life. Now the uncertainty and questions have formed a noxious poison in her mind that have effected her mood about a half century later. Pat and her husband are both private investigators and near retirement. This story tells of what they did to discover what they could about Pat's family.
This was my first reading of any of Debbie White's work, and I found the style to be rather smooth-flowing. Even though there are a lot of instances of unpleasant instances remembered by Pat from her childhood, she still had a happy, positive attitude--probably as a result of the strong presence of her loving father, and then her loving husband.This story really has several points of interest: 1) Pat's upbeat attitude in spite of childhood abuse (from her mother figure) 2) the strong influence from the loving figures of her father and her husband 3) the elder care given by the loving children to Pat at the end of her life. I guess this is considered women's fiction: a category I was never particularly fond of--but this story was a fascinating read for me, and I think it might be for you, too. I want to read more of her stuff to see if I like it as much as I liked this. Oh, and I gave it a 4-star rating because of the marginal grammar editing. If that were cleaned up, it would get at least a 4.5 rating!

Ties That Bind edition by Debbie White Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
REVISED and SPOILER ALERT added I loved the subject matter. I"m not adopted but I meet a lot of people who are adopted on genealogy sites and finding their birth parents is a need that they carry around with them until they do, and Pat was no different. Her history was interesting, and the twists and turns fascinating. So why am I giving the book only three stars? Because it was truly in need of editing, and because it dragged on for far too long - when it should have ended when they got home from Iowa and the mystery of her parentage was solved.
It's never too late to edit a edition, and with a little editing this would be far more than a three-star nover.
This book had me captivated...liked the characters and how the storyline unfolded. Great insight to eldercare, showing how a loving family copes with the issue.
Thought I was getting a mystery, my favorite genre, but out popped this story. Different from what expected, but nice. Easy to read, and light on the heart. Enjoyed the story, but editing was very lax.
Wasn't sure how this book was going at first but soon realized it was a convuluted tangle of lies and secrets this woman had to undue. I was drawn in and found myself saying, why doesn't someone just tell her the truth. But she just had to get to the right person. Didn't care for the end though.
This book was sweet and quite captivating. I admit I was a bit skeptical at first when I realized it was sort of in memoir format, but it caught my attention right away and held it until the end!
It was a story of Pat's life but told in such a way that it was very interesting, fun to follow, and easy to read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It pulled me in, made me feel for the characters for the good and bad. Made me tear up, or smile, or hope for them. It was a really great story and I would recommend it to anyone.
A tender tale of one woman’s search for her true identity
As an adult Pat has assembled a loving family and a dear, dear husband, still she’d like to know whose child she was. She’d been discovered on a bed as an infant in a house that would later become her home. But it wasn’t a happy home. Although her adoptive father showered her with love and affection, her adoptive move was cold and almost cruel. In the end this is a story of a young woman’s life and how she builds it. Then, after her children are grown, how she returns to her past to discover who her real parents had been. It is a touching tale, well worth the read.
The story is about a woman who was adopted seeking her birth parents. The idea was okay, but there were things that didn't ring true for me. Most characters were either all good or all bad. After awhile, I had trouble keeping up with who characters were and how they were related.
In addition it was in serious need of proofreading. There were grammatical errors, words left out of sentences, etc.
On the plus side, it is very short, 159 pages including the epilogue. As others have mentioned, it should have ended a few chapters earlier and left out the epilogue. There was a point where it logically should have ended.
