After a mistake at her infertility clinic, Carolyn Savage learned she was carrying another couples baby. In this memoir that belongs at the top of any truth-is-stranger-than-fiction list, she and her husband tell the tale of why they decided to go through with the pregnancy and deliver a healthy boy to the biological parents. (Basically, its because of their religious beliefs.) The book, which shifts between Carolyns and Seans perspectives, would have been better had biological parents Shannon and Paul Morell contributed, too. From the beginning, Carolyn seems to resent Shannon for not being sufficiently appreciative, and even after she says she is giving up baby Logan with no strings attached, she is peeved that Shannon sends her the same birth announcement in the same way that she had announced him to her extended family and distant friends. Ultimately, the Morells bring Logan to meet the Savages, but its unclear how often they will see each other. The story is compelling and well told, although the Savages come across as martyrs more than saints.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
