(view spoiler)[I've read The Fourth Child three times. You will never know how much I love that book. I think you did an amazing job. I have a question, though. The 1st time I read it (I don't remember what version it was) Kirk said they were having a baby boy, but the last time I read it (the Kindle version) he says they're having a baby girl. Why is that? Which is the "true" ending? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Excellent question Carolina--I wondered if any of my readers would pick up on this change, and you're the first one who has. The "true" ending is the baby girl, in that, when I released the Kindle version I had the opportunity to make a few editorial changes. I felt I wanted to avoid a "Yay, we had a boy after all those girls" and emphasize instead, that every healthy baby is a blessing, and the commitment to keep a family together is another sort of blessing, as well. I hope that ending is satisfying to you. Thanks for getting in touch! (hide spoiler)]

I read for NetGalley and I see you have a book on there, Snowbound in Montana. This is my favorite type of book about couples being stranded. I have so many books to read and review and I really want to read this. I need to know how many pages this book has and how it would be rated PG, R or NR? Thank you!
