In New England, Brother Maynard informs Jaye Garrett that her brother Patrick is dying in a Belgium hospital. Patrick suffers from leukemia and only a bone marrow transplant can save his life. The probability of siblings matching all six antigens is one in four. However, Maynard reveals to the distraught woman that that she and Patrick are adopted from different parents. The odds astronomically jump against finding a match within the general public. Jaye’s mother admits she hid the truth from her beloved two children. She pleads with Jaye to go to Cawdor, Oklahoma where it all began because a blood relative is the best chance of saving Patrick’s life.

Two days later, Jaye seeks information on Dr. Roland Hunsinger and the Sunnyside Medical Clinic, but none of the locals will provide anything to her. She meets attorney Turner Gibson, who says his Pennsylvania client seeks the same information. Roland and his son-in-law will do anything to keep the truth from surfacing. However, Jaye is at least as obstinate as Turner and plans to do whatever it takes to find a proper donor.

With novels like SEE HOW THEY RUN, DON’T TALK TO STRANGERS, and HEAR NO EVIL, Bethany Campbell has become one of the top authors of suspense. Her current tale, WHOSE LITTLE GIRL ARE YOU? is a fabulous thriller that shows why this fan favorite is the recipient of several awards. The story line is non-stop action as two desperate opponents struggle with revealing or concealing the truth. Readers will adore Jaye, a wonderful heroine doing what she believes is the only course of action to save Patrick’s life. Ms. Campbell is heading back to all the best seller lists with an incredibly powerful novel.
