BABY BY SURPRISE begins with Francesca, six months pregnant, having gestational diabetes and passing out while driving. She broke her arm during the accident and decides to call the baby's father, Grady, to let him know she had the medical condition, and Grady arrives to take her to his home from the hospital and take care of her while her arm is out of commission. Francesca is a neonatologist and has to take a few days off to give her arm time to heal and feels she's imposing on Grady, but, she really has no choice. Francesca came from an abusive family, and has never seen a loving family in action, and is distrustful of Grady and his family at first, but staying in his house, seeing how he lives and how his family gathers around, she allows the feelings she had when she met him to kindle into a flame and begins to see that he is a good man. This book warms the heart with the caring of Grady's family, and his concern and growing love for Francesca and their soon-to-be- born son. The author has done a terriffic job with this one and I recommend it highly.
