Greater Expectations - by Angela Terry (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

She's chasing her one and only dream. Can she experience motherhood, or will all her hopes for the future crumble?

Allison James is finally thriving. No longer mourning her old PR career or cheating ex-fiancé, the thirty-eight-year-old entrepreneur embraces a successful business supporting nonprofits and her gorgeous coffeehouse owner boyfriend. But when her mother suddenly suffers a heart attack in the middle of the night, she's completely shaken to realize once again how quickly life can change-and vows now is the time to be a mom.

Unfortunately, her partner isn't so sure he wants to be a father, and Allison worries her pursuit of pregnancy could break them up again. But when tragedy strikes and her ride-or-die best friend is suddenly avoiding her, she feels her world spiraling as her envisioned family seems to be falling apart.

Struggling through heartbreak, loss, and unpredictable twists threatening all she loves, will Allison lose faith or discover that something greater lies in wait?
