      He wanted roots. She chose career.

      Can a baby bring them back together?

Latham isn’t ready to trust the woman who eagerly left him and their small town behind. But can they ignore the spark rekindled by unexpected Family Blessings?

      Award-winning author STEPHANIE DEES lives in small-town Alabama with her pastor husband and two youngest children.

      A man’s heart deviseth his way:

      but the Lord directeth his steps.

      —Proverbs 16:9

      “Move your hand over just a little bit.”

      His hand settled on her belly and she had to remind herself to breathe. The baby kicked again. “There. Did you feel it?”

      “Wynn,” he said, his voice quiet. “It’s a baby.”

      It was crazy and weird and somehow perfect, to have this little life growing inside her. She nodded. “Yeah, she’s really there. Isn’t that just the coolest thing?”

      The look of wonder in his eyes nearly undid her. She took a couple of steps away and he tugged her back, scooping her into his arms again. “Break’s over. Now you’re going in the pond.”

      “What? No!” She gave him her sternest face. “Latham, you can’t throw me in the pond.”

      “Oh, all right.” He set her on the ground. “Come on, Mama, let’s go paint your door.”

      She followed him onto the porch, heart slamming in her chest. No, no, no, no. It was not possible for her to be falling for Latham Grant again.

      Not possible at all.

      Dear Reader,

      I knew Wynn was a larger-than-life character when she first appeared in A Baby for the Doctor. She’s a world-changer with big dreams...and she’d made a big mistake. She needed a hero who could show her that even big mistakes can be redeemed by the God of restoration! Thankfully Latham (and his grandpa) were up for the job!

      I hope you’ve enjoyed your time in Red Hill Springs as much as I have. I love hearing from readers! If you’d like to connect, you can contact me via my website at www.stephaniedees.com or facebook at www.facebook.com/authorstephaniedees.

      To my family

      Love is real and it looks a lot like you.
