What I Left Behind

At sixteen, Allyson Cole felt forced to give up her red-haired baby girl for adoption, a heart-wrenching decision made even more so when the child’s father disappeared. Eighteen-year-old Sonny McGraw was Ally’s first love; he was her world, and she was his until, unaware that she was pregnant, he took off without a word. Now, over three decades later, Allyson has never married or had another child. She is engaged to a man she adores, and the popular restaurant she owns is her heart and soul. But Ally sees the baby she gave up long ago in every young woman with red hair she meets.
