Mom In The Making by Kit Wilkinson
Pregnant, Becky is in Glendale (her deceased husband, Tommy’s, hometown). Her mission is to bond with her cold, unfeeling mother-in-law and teach her about Jesus. However, Becky finds this very difficult to do since her MIL has never approved of Becky’s union with Tommy.
Becky’s life takes an interesting turn when she meets Justin. Justin was Tommy’s childhood best friend and Becky finds this hard to believe – why had Tommy never mentioned Justin before – she knew all of Tommy’s friends.
As Becky battles gestational diabetes during her pregnancy, Justin deals with his own battle of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. He’s a doctor/pilot who’s been sent home from the military and now he’s back in Glendale and finds himself smitten with Becky.
As Justin grows closer to Becky as they work together on a school play, Becky learns that there are secrets lurking between Justin’s and Tommy’s families – secrets she’s not fully aware of. Can Justin and Becky overcome all of their obstacles and love one another?
This book flowed really well and it was enjoyable. I also enjoyed reading about the medical issues that Becky faced and the mental issues that Justin had to deal with. The characters and situations were very realistic and the story was extremely engaging.
