Success is a mountain you climb, all bruised up. And then everyone who once dismissed you and walked away calls you back. Stepan and Viola’s agency was approached by a successful businessman and talented stylist Mark Ivanov. He wants to find his real mother. Mark was abandoned by his parents as a child and grew up in an orphanage, resigned to the thought that he wasn’t needed by anyone. But recently he received a mysterious letter from his mother, who had died in prison. It turns out he isn’t her biological child at all—he was stolen and swapped in the maternity ward.
To uncover Mark’s origins, T arakanova had to dig deep into a tangle of old intrigues: doctors’ schemes, a conspiracy of nurses, wealthy people hungry for power, and the desperate attempts of a young woman to save her family. At last, the result could be presented to the client. Only now Viola is sure that this story will absolutely not please Ivanov…
Darya Dontsova is the most popular and in-demand author in our country, a favorite of millions of readers. In Russia, more than 200 million copies of her books have been sold. Her writing fills hearts and souls with light, optimism, joy, and confidence in the day to come!
“Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I don’t know any other writer who works so much. I feel respect for her as a model of writing diligence. Women need psychological support and get it from Dontsova. I myself read several of her novels at one time. Very different people read her—busy business ladies to switch off for a while, and housewives who have a 15–20 minute break between drop-off/pick-up of children.” — Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic
