"Ms. Silk’ debut women's fiction touches all parts of our needs, wants and the possibilities. I want more." Amazon Reviewer

Can Rachel and James find their way back into each other’s hearts after tasting temptation and facing devastating news? How strong is love in the face of reality?

With an adoring patient saint of a husband, Rachel's 7-year marriage to James Conran has grown from great to incredibly blessed. But all Rachel has yearned for over the past 5 years is wanting a baby.

Everything else is perfect... well until she bumps into her sexy ex-lover, Daniel Ross. The Italian knows his way around women, and Rachel is disgusted at how tempted she is to spend time with him, in the name of her work, of course.

Realizing how desperate she has become to have a baby--she actually wonders if the unexplained infertility is not her fault, and if Daniel can get her pregnant--she takes matters into her own hands and decides to have further exploratory fertility tests. On the day she makes it clear to Daniel that she's not interested in anything he has to offer, she meets a beautiful pregnant red-head. As they become close friends the young woman offers Rachel a gift that will change many people's lives.

But her loving, patient husband has been withdrawing lately. Is it really his career or is there something he's not sharing with Rachel? Can they ever become a happy family? Is it too little too late?

And where does Daniel come into all this?

Ratings and reviews

Well written and emotional, I was able to identify with this book on so many levels. Having traveled the road of infertility, miscarriages and the desperation to have a child of my own, the author's insights into Rachel's state of mind are amazing. Struggling to fall pregnant is, for the most part, a very private affair, but after a while it becomes obvious to those around us that there are “issues”. James' insensitive mother brought about a strong reaction in me, together with the feelings of not being good enough. The temptation to have a child at any price, the blinkered approach to one's marriage that if only there was a child they could experience fulfillment, the dreadful and sometimes painful medical procedures, are just some of the difficulties facing childless couples. Rachel and James eventually reach that point where they have to make choices about their future, and even that is taking a risk. Although the book does come to a happy and satisfying conclusion, I nevertheless felt as if a mechanical grader had gone over my soul, leaving me feeling vulnerable and emotional, but grateful for the blessings I enjoy. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
