But life hasn't suddenly become perfect. Old faces, unexpected situations, changing relationships, and choices from the past continue to follow Alexis into her future. And with everyone around her dealing with lives of their own, she quickly realizes that growing a family can bring just as many challenges as it does beautiful moments. Through it all, Alexis is determined to protect the life she's building and the people she loves most. Because after everything she's been through, family means more to her than ever before. ***READ MY BOOK MOTHER BEFORE YOU READ THIS ONE!!!
