In modern times, a vital part of sex education is family planning.  Or rather, not planning children.  Everyone wants to enjoy sex and avoid pregnancy until they are ready to welcome a child into their lives.This must seem like a cruel joke to women who long to conceive but, for some reason, are unable to do so.  How unbearable it must be to know that you'll never know the flutter if life growing within you, to know you'll never be able to cradle your own newborn infant in your arms.  The need of a woman to be a mother, to bring a child into the world can be overwhelming.Then there's the irony of life.  Some people don't want kids but can't stop having them.  Look at Jack.  He's been saddled with the premature baby of his late ex-wife.  A child which bears his legal name although he has no biological tie to it.  How ridiculous can it get?A perfectly innocuous name, Jack Dawson is a great name for a hero in a romance novel.  It's the name of the hero Leonardo Di Caprio made famous in the smash hit movie, TITANIC.  Jack was the dashing romantic hero who appeared in Rose's (Kate Winslet) life one day, became her lover, taught her how to live life to the full and died, leaving her to continue on in life, all the richer for the experience.  Of course it was a tragedy that Jack and Rose couldn't have their happy ever after (HEA).  This Jack, however, can have his HEA if he can only open up to the fact that Olivia loves him.  This warm and compassionate nurse, unable to bear a child of her own despite delivering babies every day, would make a wonderful mother for Jack's unwanted child.  Can Jack -and Olivia - go the extra mile to put themselves on the line and make a family for this little orphaned girl, this tiny scrap of humanity?Kamy Chetty's writing has a rich and compassionate voice, which has the courage to go where many authors don't.  She applies that voice as much to describing the emotions of maternal longing as she does to making love.  She is a great new discovery in women's fiction and I urge readers of romance and women's fiction to read this author and tell everyone about her.She deserves it.
