Widowed soon-to-be mom Becky Kirkpatrick came to Glendale to fulfill her late husband's dying wish. But someone else in town may have greater possibilities in store for her and her baby. Yet Justin Winters has been let down by more than one Kirkpatrick before. Will this time be any different? And can he bring himself to be a father to his former best friend's child? Becky and Justin will have to trust each other— and God's plan—if they truly want a chance at happily ever after.

Forgiveness is key to moving on from the past and past mistakes....

[J. · Rating 5 out of 5]

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Mom in the Making by Kit Wilkinson is a perfect example of what Aristotle meant. A medical romance and inspirational fan, I picked up Wilkinson’s first Love Inspired when I learned the hero was a flight surgeon with PTSD. As I started reading the story of Justin Winters and Becky Kirkpatrick, the pregnant widow who was married to Justin’s estranged friend, I realized this book was more than a simple mix of two genres. A hero to make the reader sigh, a strong but vulnerable heroine, a family feud, a dash of suspense, finely crafted secondary characters, Wilkinson’s warm style and excellent pace combine to create a truly enjoyable lesson in forgiveness and moving forward. I hope the author, who has written Love Inspired
Suspense, will continue to write more for the Love Inspired line.

Becky Kirkpatrick just lost her husband to leukemia. He asked her to move in with his mother until the baby was born. She meets his former best friend as she moves back into town. Will the past haunt them or help them? Again this one just gets good, and then ends too quickly.

Sweet, clean christian story. While christianity was part of the characters lives it was not an overly pressed element. Very enjoyable.

I don't know if I'd be able to be as strong as a military wife has to be. That being said I really enjoyed this book.
