Blessings

Title: Blessings

Author: Anna Quindlen

Summary: A young caretaker and his elderly boss are surprised when they find a baby abandoned on the doorstep. This story examines how their lives change by one small child and how their relationships interweave.

Recommendation: Perfect summer read. Very tender, but not sappy. The characters seem "true," and their lives--past, present, and future possibilities--enraptured me.
