The fourth child

by C. J. Carmichael

MOMENT OF TRUTH... Claire Ridgeway has everything--a handsome, hardworking husband of twelve years, a beautiful home in the suburbs, three delightful children she can raise without having to worry about money. Until one morning. Claire's life shatters when Kirk tells her he's in love with someone else. Her first reaction is to kick him out of the house. But he wants to try counseling. She's not sure she can forgive him. Still, she has three young daughters to think of, plus the child due in seven months--Kirk's child, their fourth. The child he doesn't even know she's carrying.
