"[ The Stolen Child] is compelling, skillfully told, and meticulously structuredA well-crafted, fast-paced story about how a single encounter can shape a persons whole life." -- Kirkus (starred review) "This is a lovely story about two artists meeting in the midst of WWI, a missing baby, and an intelligent, lost young woman helping an old man fix the mistakes of his past. I loved Nick and Jenny from the moment I met them, and had all my fingers crossed that they would find not only what they were looking for, but themselves." -- Ann Napolitano, author of Hello Beautiful "Vividly peopled, intricately plotted, and gorgeously written, The Stolen Child is one of those all-consuming and big-hearted novels that explores what it means to be human how to love, accept loss, transcend failures, and become the person you are meant to be. Reading Ann Hood  is like setting out on an adventure with a wise and trusted friend you never want it to end" -- Adrienne Brodeur, author of Little Monsters and Wild Game
