I have become very accustomed to Shelia Lipsey's writing through her books. I'm always impressed with the writing style and her story lines. My Wife, My Baby, and Him has far exceeded everything I have read in the past. This story pulled me in from the first page. I felt every emotion as I read this book. There was no way to anticipate the twists and turns and the emotional roller coaster this book took me on. The characters Ms. Lipsey has created have come alive to me. As their lives unfold I feel I am in the moment with them and experienceing life along with them. I can't wait to see what the future holds for the Grahams, the McCoys, and Holy Rock. Each book in the My Son's series makes me eager for the next installment. Bravo Ms. Lipsey, you have done an excellent job yet again. I highly recommend this book!!! I give this book 10 shining stars!
I don't know where to begin with this book. Shelia Lipsey has a way of drawing you into her books. You feel every emotion that the characters feel. If you have followed the Graham family you will not be disappointed. This book is about adultery, infidelity, forgiveness, deceit and low self esteem. If you are looking for a good read I encourage you to read this series.
Good read! Enjoyed this installment of the My Son's Wife series. Will the Graham family ever have a happy ending? Theme of this book is definitely "you reap what you sow!" Lies & betrayal do not result in happy endings... Waiting to see what happens next with Stiles, Detria & the McCoys.
This series just gets better and better. It’s rare that a series can continue to get better than the last book. This was probably the best book in the series. I am not going to want this series to end. I just love the book covers to this series
The action happens quickly in this book. Detria is a cheater and Stiles is unaware for a while hoping that his marriage is back on the mends. Detria can’t stand that Stiles is always at the church. Meanwhile, Audrey, the daughter of Stiles and Detria spends more time with one of the church members than her own mother. Life starts to fall apart once Stiles confronts Detria about Skip. Their whole world unravels quickly and things happen that we forever cause all of their words to be changed. Sheila Lipsey has written another great novel. Stiles has to recover from his pain and agony and Detria keeps being stupid. Some women will never learn that a piece of a man is not a real man.
This book in the series was sooo good! Stiles really thinks him and Detria are doing good in their marriage. Until he starts to suspect she's having an affair. And it turns out that she is! And it's with his friend! So much starts to happen after he finds out. You gotta read the book to find out what happens; and it is good! I'm on to the next one!
I would have never expected the turn of events in this book. I shed many tears while reading this book. I would have never imagined Stiles going through a second failed marriage. And for Detria to be the person she was was a blow. It reminded me of being blinded in the mist of trouble. We must remember that God is truly still in the midst of turmoil. A great read 👍
Book 5 of the My Son's Wife series catches up with the Graham family. Stiles and Detria are trying to work on their marital problems, but both are still hiding a few skeletons in their closets…a few of which may be deadly.
Pastor has made a somewhat full recovery and is enjoying married life…and spoiling his granddaughter Audrey.
Francesca is living a stress-free life with her husband Tim, but longs to add to their family. Not only is she calling AIDS, but also the her father and brother.
Rena has given birth to the twins and life for her and Robert seems to be going great, but why can't she stop worrying about her ex-husband.
Hands down, this is the best book in the series and I highly recommend it, along with giving it
Stiles or Skip? Will the best man win? Does anybody really win in a love triangle no matter how it turns out?
I enjoyed seeing karma work as some characters got their just due. However, I was sorry that not everyone who deserved punishment received it, while some characters who were innocent bystanders suffered. I guess you can say the good thing is about this book is that readers will evaluate own lives and learn life lessons along with the characters. Some characters lived very pleasurable and fulfilling lives, but at the expense of others, and with no regard to the will of God, or friendships, family, or church members and the outcome was inevitable. The author HAS to write at least one more sequel to let us know what happened to the characters who are still "standing". Will they pay for their sins, and will the faithful be rewarded. You must read the books in sequence to really enjoy them..

"My Wife My Baby...And Him" by Shelia E. Lipsey
My Thoughts...
This was quite a series...this Graham family was well...some intriguing family. It seems like when you think you have heard it all something else comes out. I'm not sure at this more just who to feel more sorry for...Stiles? What a series that has a little bit of it all...'adultery, deception, secrets, lies, scandals, forgiveness and a lots of heartaches.' To get the whole story you will have to pick up this series to see how well this author presents all of the twist and turns to the reader. That saying of 'you reap what you sow' definitely comes into play in this read. Will there be more from this author about the Graham family...well I guess we will have to wait and see!
I really enjoyed this novel. I am awaiting the next one in the series. In this novel there was so much broken between Detria and Stiles that there was no way the marriage could survive. The losses were too great and there so much unforgiveness that the union was doomed! I loved the plot, the storyline and especially the message in this series!
