Family Ties by Kamy ChettyWhat could be worse than having your husband cheat on you with your best friend. How about having to work in the same hospital, be the subject of the rumor mill, and watch your ex husband and ex best friend have what you can't have - a baby. As if that wasn't bad enough, you work on the Delivery ward of a hospital, seeing babies everyday.Olivia has been through so much in the last year, now she is focused on her work and making her dream come true. She will have a baby, but she is meeting with obstacles at every turn. A two to four year wait to adopt.  A deal falling through on a private adoption through an attorney. Maybe hardest of all, is seeing the man you are starting to fall for not want anything to do with his little infant daughter in the NICU.Jack Dawson is struggling to comes to grips with the fact, a preemie baby is needing him and he does not know how to be there for her. His wife left him and had a baby that was not his, but she was killed on the way to the hospital to deliver milk. Not knowing who the father is, it is left on Jack's shoulders to decide little Ruby's future. While one might say how could he not love this little baby, the author showed how difficult it was for Jack to overcome the betrayal from his first wife Mirri. I loved  how Jack was always there for Olivia, standing up for her when others were not so nice.This book dealt with feelings and everyday lives in a hospital delivery setting. You also watch Jack and Olivia deal with past hurts and betrayals, and grow stronger for the lessons learned in life.4.5/5 stars
