This was a very emotional, and touching story. Lilly in her first marriage, had a miscarriage, a stillborn. Her last pregnancy she had her son, which was born with birth defects. He didn't live long. Her husband couldn't stand to look or hold his own son. It tore Lilly's heart apart. She loved her son with her heart and soul. After the funeral, she received divorce papers. She now works for an adult daycare.  She loves her job, and knows she is helping other families. Lilly and jack were dating, but Jack broke it off. The two still cared for each other. When they found out Lilly was pregnant, Jack stepped up to the plate. Lilly was scared, and Jack gave her his strength, and comfort. This is a book I think all should read. It was really moving.Sample from chapter 7 - His goal was to take the necessary steps to help his daughters adjust to a blended family and to make sure Lilly's decision to marry him was well thought out and deliberate. That it was a decision she'd never regret. And if he had to woo her one dinner date, one yoga class, one shopping spree at a time, he'd do it gladly.Sample from chapter 8 - "The baby could have so many things wrong, it would never be able to leave home and might need machines to stay alive." "That sucks." Yes, it did. "I have to go, sweetie." Lilly patted Miranda's shoulder. "Please don't tell anyone about the baby until I say you can. Okay?" "My mother doesn't tell people about me, either." "I can't believe that," Lilly said vehemently, although admittedly, she didn't know Miranda's mother. Her sister always brought her to the center. "Sometimes, when she thinks I'm not around, she says she only has one daughter." "Oh, Miranda." Lilly could have cried. The young woman crewed up her face into an angry scowl. "I bet if you had a kid like me, you'd be the same way." Lilly pulled Miranda into a fierce hug. "If I had a daughter like you, I'd be so happy and s proud, I'd tell everybody I met about my beautiful girl, and how much I loved her."
