"Entertaining contemporary romance"
Two years ago, Katie Rogers and Andy Bray left Dundee,
Idaho together with hopes for the future in San
Francisco. Now Katie comes home tired, disillusioned
about life especially men, feeling like a loser, and
pregnant. Her parents refuse to take her back as they
feel she made her bed. Two years ago, Booker Robinson pleaded with Katie not to
leave with Andy as he loved her. She felt the ex-con was
not ready for marriage and family while Andy who was of
good family came through for her with her senior citizen
project. While Katie found Andy's self adulation
overwhelming, Booker establishes a successful automobile
repair business. Though he does not want to see the woman
he still loves, Booker provides her a place to stay. As
they become reacquainted with one another, their affection
resurfaces, but she broke his heart and Andy destroyed her
trust in people so love may prove futile especially when
you factor in that it is Andy's child she carries. A FAMILY OF HER OWN is an entertaining contemporary
romance starring two walking wounded individuals and a
sold support cast. A bit of police a procedural adds
tension between the lead duo, but seems unnecessary as
they carry enough scarred history to cover the tale.
The "I told you so" attitude of her parents feels harsh
especially since she is carrying their grandchild and
readers will understand why as that augments a fine second
chance at love story. Harriet Klausner
