Five Days Left by Julie Lawson Timmer takes place over five days. The two main characters, Mara and Scott are both members of an internet forum for parents of adopted children. Mara and Scott become emotionally intimate because sometimes it is easier to share your deepest thoughts with complete strangers. Mara and her husband have adopted a daughter. Scott and his wife are doing foster care for an inner city first grade boy. The story of Mara and Scott, some of it shared via their forum comments, comes to a very dramatic ending on the fifth day. I could relate to both Scott and Mara. Both are trying to be good parents but go about it in very different ways.
