Suppose an alien spaceship crashed on Earth in the middle of the USA and the only occupant that survived was a small child. What would happen to him? Would the government and the FBI want to capture that child and lock him away in a lab to study and investigate him? What if kind, caring people in a small town hid him away to grow up in a loving environment while he waited for rescue by his own people?

This is the premise of this book. Molly Myers, a nurse and her husband Gene, who lost their own child, find themselves protectors of this strange alien child they name Cory, hiding him from the many powers who want him and his race's superior technology. Given that he looks nothing like a human child, this is not easy and eventually his existence becomes known to the federal agents and spies looking for him. A wonderful story about what it is to be a parent and love a child, doing all in your power to keep them safe.

Our Child of the Stars by Stephen Cox is a science fiction story about family, love and second chances.
In 1969 a meteor crashes in a town in New England. One child rescued from the site is taken to hospital and he is cared for by a nurse Molly Myers. This is no ordinary child and he must be hidden from everyone to keep him safe.
Molly and her husband take the child to live with them and grow to love him as their own. I enjoyed this book it was a different type of read for me.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Quercus books for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
