The emotional ride has been taking a toll on their hearts&#8211;and their relationship. Michele is obsessed with researching fertility treatments while Allan seems content to spend his time&#8211;and their money&#8211;on supporting displaced children in Africa. Something&#8217;s got to give. But they both hope it&#8217;s not their marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Still, God has a plan for Allan and Michele that they could never have imagined. And all it takes to set it in motion is a change of heart . . .<\/p>\n<p>============================<br \/>\nI have a confession to make. I read this entire book in one sitting. Once I started reading it, the characters in the book became like family. It seemed as if I knew them and I just needed to keep reading to be sure that everyone was okay. More than once I glanced at the clock and said just one more chapter and then I&#8217;ll start dinner. Folks, I started dinner at 7:30pm because I couldn&#8217;t stop until I&#8217;d read the final word on the final page. I was so surprised to find out that this was actually book three in a series because it worked so well as a stand alone. I was also very bummed to find out that book four won&#8217;t be out until Spring 2015. I&#8217;m not a patient reader..hehe &#8230;Luckily, I can go back and find books one and two and read those in between!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<i>I received a copy of this book for the purpose of this review.
