The Baby Race is really a highly emotional story.  One minute you're full of hope, and the next you want to cry...or just smack someone *cough*Race*cough*.  Put together a large, close-knit family, a small town, and a cowboy, then throw in an innocent, nave woman and her kid stepsister (and prospective adopted daughter) and you get a whirlwind of drama.This is totally a story that I can easily get caught up in, and I did, but there were times I really wanted to slap Race for saying or doing something completely boneheaded.  The grandmother is the one that sets everything in motion, but while I understand her motives, I don't like how she went about it, though I don't think anyone can argue with the results lol.The writing style was a little daunting as we frequently switched focus from Claire to Race without any warning, and the passage of time wasn't always easy to keep up with.  However, that being said, it's still easy enough to follow and the journey is so very sweet with a very satisfying ending.  The only thing I was left wondering is what the ultimate fate of Race's ranch, as that was still a little unclear, but that's really just a side note, and doesn't impact the bigger picture.
