A Blessing in Disguise
By Pamela Fudge
Be careful what you wish for…
Alex Siddons’ life seems practically perfect.
She has an enviably comfortable life in a lavish house with her husband, Phil, having shared twenty-five years of blissful marriage together. The only thing missing is a relationship with her in-laws.
The family can’t even seem to survive one dinner without arguing, and Pete’s father, Randy, seems to harbour nothing but feelings of hatred towards his son.
However, the couple’s otherwise idyllic lifestyle is turned upside-down when Alex discovers that she’s pregnant.
Surely it’s far too late for them to have children and, having spent the last twenty-five years child-free, do either of them really want to upset the balance of their relationship by involving a baby?
Alex seems to have made up her mind – it’s far too risky.
But the more she ponders over her growing belly, the more she begins to wonder whether this is the last chance she’ll ever have to experience motherhood and become a real family. Perhaps now was finally their time to begin a new chapter…
But it soon becomes clear that Phil has been doing some thinking his own.
Despite his increasing pressure on her, Alex just can’t bring herself to go through with the termination he so desperately wants.
Then Phil delivers the ultimatum she has been dreading: their marriage, or the baby.
With her relationship now hanging in the balance, and her doubts that she is remotely fit for motherhood growing every day, Alex soon begins to realise that love is often found in the most unexpected of places…
A Blessing in Disguise is a heart-warming tale of redemption, with unexpected twists that will keep you glued until the final page.
