From New York Times and USA Today bestselling novelist Caroline Leavitt comes an unusual twist on the family-in-jeopardy story--a couple's love and faith are tested when after labor complications, a young mother lapses into a coma.
It can take a long time to build up a life, and only moments to destroy it. Gary and Molly met in the way couples do: after a long haul of being single, quickly becoming soulmates and rejoicing in that fact. Beautiful, red-haired Molly ignites a fire in Gary and he eases the pain she feels about her past. Starting a family is something they both want badly to do, and with great joy Molly finds herself pregnant.
