This really was an emotional read. Jess was a newlywed, when her husband was murdered. Dan's brother was on, and off drugs. He needed help, but never got the help he needed. It was Dan's brother that had shot Jess's husband. Dan felt really bad. He felt helpless. He went to meet with Jess, and the first time they met, Jess yelled at him, and couldn't believe he would come and see her. I understand that. The death of your husband is something no one can make better.Jess had an awful father in law. He blamed her for the death of his son. He found out she was pregnant, and told her that he would take her child. Dan took the phone from Jess and heard what the father in-law had to say. Dan offered to marry Jess, so the father in-law couldn't take the baby. This book had a lot of twist and turns, but it was a good story. It did have a few grammar errors. I found a few words, worded twice, or wrote backwards from how it should be read. If it was proof read, this book would be perfect.Sample from chapter 10"It does sound like he's pretty fascinated with the baby, doesn't it?" "That's not the half of it. Not only does he spend most of the time with his hands on my stomach, but he's even bought a bunch of Dr. Seuss books." "Why?" Emma asked, taking a sip of her coke. "The baby won't be able to read for years." Jess laughed harder. "Dan reads them." Emma made a face to show that she didn't believe her. "Isn't he a little old for Dr. Seuss?" "He reads them to the baby." "Yeah right." "He does," Jess insisted. "He was reading a baby book, and it said that babies in the womb can hear. So he has me sit on the couch, and he lies down with his head in my lap and reads out loud. It's a riot."
