Lucy longs for a baby of her own, but can't have one. So she steals someone else's. She gets away with it, too. Except she eventually gets caught.
That's the plot of this novel in a nutshell. Interestingly enough, this information is actually revealed fairly early in the book, but it doesn't spoil the story at all to know it. This was a fascinating book.
The only small problem I had with it was how Lucy was found out. It seems to me, that if this were real, she could have kept the secret of her child's origins forever. But maybe she somehow wanted to get caught.
