But Clara Woodrow is not that lady! Enchanted by her and determined to have no other, Joseph must use the magical last few days of spring to make Clara admit the desire they share for one another. Joseph Brooks suspects his mother of bringing a pretty young lady to town as a mail order bride. But can they learn to move beyond their pasts and regain their faith in God and love? Neither Jared nor Meg wants to give up their child, so they agree to marry so that the twins can grow up as the brothers, in one household. Not only has it been two years since they last saw each other at their ten year high school reunion, and their mutual attraction/dislike for each other hasn’t diminished, but their sons are identical! Really identical! It becomes painfully obvious that the boys were twins separated at birth. When Jared and Meg meet at Tiny Blessings’ 35th Anniversary party, they make a shocking discovery. His faith in God got him through the tragedy and has made him a loving father. Jared Kierney’s wife, Vanessa, died from a brain anneurysm soon after they adopted baby Chance two years ago from Tiny Blessings. She’d prayed so hard to make her marriage work and yet God had not heard her.

She used to be a woman of strong faith, but her husband’s cheating year after year broke her spirit. But Eddie’s constant womanizing and infidelity ends the marriage and Meg becomes a single mother, balancing being a mother to Luke and an advertising executive. Meg Talbot and her husband Eddie adopted a baby boy two years ago from Tiny Blessings.
