Finding Baby J
Sweet Confection
Shana Davis is a part-time student of physiotherapy and full-time cafeteria worker at Mercy Hospital in Detroit. Her childhood involved being shuffled from one foster home to the next, never wanted or loved by anyone. She now takes pity on four-legged strays and gives them a home where they are loved and cared for. One day, as her shift ends, she’s taking out the trash when she hears a forlorn mewling sound and finds a newborn baby boy left in a dumpster. She rushes him up to maternity where Dr. Kagan Daniels examines the child with Shana in attendance. Attached to baby Jay from the first moment, she spends most of her off duty hours in the nursery caring for him and dreaming of the handsome doctor.
Dr. Kagan Daniels is heart-sore and commitment shy due to his failed marriage and past experience with selfish, cold-hearted women. But he sees a gentle, caring soul in Shana and is drawn to her. Despite his reservations, he realizes he wants to get to know her better, finding excuses to spend time in her company. He's always wanted children and also becomes attached to the abandoned newborn. He knows Shana loves Baby J, and informs her that he has applied to adopt him.
Shana realizes she loves Kagan, but avoids him, her old feelings of being unloved and unworthy rising to the forefront. Dr. Daniels hunts her down, needing to know the truth. Is she the caring person he’d come to know, or a bitch like his mother and ex-wife? Will the lies spewed by others separate them forever? Or can their love win out over all?
