Come on home, Children is Book 2 of the Children in Hiding Series written
by Victoria Randall.
The year is 2042. Under No Unwanted
Children Act, anybody who wants to have an offspring is required to acquire a
reproductive permit also called a baby license. Otherwise, the pregnancy is
illegal and punishable by law.
Is has been four years since Willa escaped
from Renton Children’s Center. She lives with Adele, an older woman who took
her when she was pregnant with her daughter Katy. Katy is now a smart nearly
four-year old girl and Willa dreams of finding a stable job and a better home
for them.
Willa’s hopes and dreams are shattered
when she comes home to find Adele’s house locked, with Adele in jail and Katy
under the custody of the Bureau of Population Management. She is willing to
give everything she has and do everything she can to get Katy back. Being a
non-person entity herself, Willa is powerless alone. But with loyal friends and
a powerful ally rallying behind her, Willa dares to step up and reinvent
herself to rescue the most important person in her life.
Unlike the first book in the series, Get on Board,Little Children, this has
a slower pacing and is less suspenseful though just as intense and exciting.
Moreover, the plot is a little more extreme while the romance part gives the
book an entirely different appeal to readers, especially to those who enjoy a
bit of heart-tickling scenes.
The characterization is great with the
main protagonist, Willa, portrayed as a tough and strong woman and a patient
and loving mother while her daughter Katy is a very smart and a very brave
girl. The minor characters, which are given short but enough descriptions for
backstories, each plays an important role. Casually worded throughout the
entire story, the book is easy to read and understand.
Needless to say, I enjoyed this book as
much as I enjoyed the first one. Congratulations to Victoria Randall (@Entlover27) on another great book! For updates on this
