title: A Family's Destiny
author: Boone, Annie
description: Alexandra's birthday came and went without so much as a word of acknowledgement. That was when she knew something had to change. She's the oldest of the Edinburgh children. The others are her half siblings. Her step-mother and her father were occupied with more important happenings than being good parents to their brood. As a retired Army general, her father was a distant and uninvolved parent. He didn't even flinch when she told him she was moving to Wyoming to marry a man she'd never even met. Pete Gilbert was even more wonderful than she'd even hoped for. She was shy around him, but what could anyone expect since she'd been so secluded in her life in Boston? She was trying to come out of her shell and it was happening little by little. Nicholas, Pete's son, won her heart from the moment she met him and he was helping her gain confidence in her place in this family. But when she met Pete's parents, details of her past came flooding out. Secrets from the war threatened to take away the life she'd come to love along with the man who came with it. Would they be able to overcome this terrible past? Would Pete even want to? Was there a chance that a little boy could be the very one who brought them all together?
