Title: Leap of Faith

Author: Jamie Blair

Publication Date: September 3, 2013

Synopsis:

Can true love be built on lies? A teen on the run seeks relief and redemption in this gripping, romantic read.

Leah Kurtz has finally found a place to call home, a town where she and baby Addy can live in peace, far from the drug-infested place she grew up. Chris is one of the best parts of her new life, the only person who’s ever made her feel safe. And now that she’s found him, there’s no way she can tell the truth:

Her real name is Faith, not Leah. She’s seventeen, not nineteen. And the baby isn’t hers—Faith kidnapped her.

Faith’s history catches up with her when a cop starts asking questions and Chris’s aunt spots her picture in the newspaper. She knows it’s time to run again, but if Faith leaves, she’ll lose Chris. If Chris is in love with a lie, though, did Faith ever really have him in the first place?

Everything about this book is SCREAMING at me to read it, and immediately. I love kidnapping stories, but this one? This is something new. I need to know why she kidnapped the baby and what will happen to her relationship with Chris after he learns the truth. I'm also hoping there is a decent explanation to the kidnapping to begin with. I don't know how long I can hold off on getting this book. I may have to pick it up soon. Oh hell, I might just have to go get it now...
