A True Likeness

From Booklist Solicitor Lindsey Abercrombie risks her comfortable job when she agrees to help Ursula Guyler, one of her employer's most valued and lucrative customers, with a delicate family matter. Seventeen years ago Ursula's three-year-old daughter, Julie, was abducted. Now, just as Ursula is about to give up any hope of ever finding her daughter again, a young woman, Edie Maybury, who thinks she may be Ursula's missing daughter, contacts her. When Lindsey sets up a meeting with the Guylers and Edie, any attempt at a reunion falls apart once Ursula insists this rough-edged, angry young woman could never be her missing Julie. Lindsey intuitively believes there is something to Edie's claim, and with the help of journalist Keith Holland, Lindsey becomes involved in Edie's life in ways she never would have expected. The sweet romance that develops between Keith and Lindsey adds a nice element to the main story in Barclay's tale, a perfect choice for libraries where gentle, British-flavored stories are in demand.
