Publisher Description
The Essence bestselling author of The Replacement Wife shares a heartfelt tale of marriage, struggle, and the meaning of family.
All of Chenille Abrams' dreams came true the day she married NFL star Brayden Carpenter. He's the down-to-earth, loving, and protective man she never thought she'd find. And with her own successful career, Chenille plans to be more than just a famous athlete's wife. She's determined to balance work, marriage, and motherhood . . .
But when their son is born with a crippling heart ailment, Brayden is devastated, and starts putting his career above everything else. Then tragedy strikes, and Chenille struggles to find a reason to go on—as Brayden finds comfort away from home . . .
Little by little, Chenille picks up the pieces as she and Brayden try to repair their marriage. But when he fathers a baby that the mother can't keep, will this be the final blow? Or can they find a way past betrayal into a future worth saving?

Customer Reviews
Disappointing
This book had so much promise but it just didn’t rise to the level I thought it should have. The title suggests it’s going to be some grade A chaos, but it failed to materialize. It was much ado about nothing.
The conflict you would expect doesn’t pop up until about 2-3 chapters from the end and it’s nowhere near the stress and strife you’ll imagine. It happened and then before you know it...’The End’ 🤷🏾♀️😳😡
****Spoiler...
There were so many other conflicting things that didn’t mesh, the main one was Brayden wanting to marry a woman who make money moves but then the whole book he wants her to be a stay at home mother and wife. It’s just too much.
I don’t recommend this book.
