"Anybody can be a mother, but it takes somebody special to be a mom..." They said everything happened for a reason, and seventeen-year-old Courtney Stern had a weak belief in that. She was normal, artistic, and happy; except for her family. Her father was a kind man, steady job, loved her unconditionally, but her mother was a different story. She was eccentric, bold, and possibly had a mild case of aspergers. She was nothing like her daughter, and Courtney was tired of this woman's behavior. Then one day, everything changed, She found documents, files, reports, everything that her parents ever told her was proven wrong because of a picture she was trying to find. Her mother is not her mother, and Courtney is thrown into the world of surrogate mothers. In order to get the truth, she chooses to travel from her home in Denver, Colorado, to Durango; and finds her birth mother...along with secrets behind it. http://www.lulu.com/shop/stephanie-moscone/like-mother-like-daughter/paperback/product-22059270.html
