Being a single mom, myself, I understand how difficult it can be. My own children are much older than Becca's, but the struggle to go from married with a family to divorced with a family has its similarities. As anyone who has had to deal with it knows, it isn't easy, but it can get better.
The story opens with Becca stranded on a lonely country road on a cold December night, a sick baby waiting at home, and a flat tire. It's all too much for her—until a brilliant comet streaks across the sky. Becca sees it as a sign and vows to do whatever is necessary to make a better life for her children.
Sometimes that knight in shining armor arrives in the nick of time, just as hero Nick Morelli does, but it's Becca's strength that carries this story and the growth of her belief in herself that brings about a happily ever after.

After Becca Tyler's husband deserts her, money issues force her to move to the outskirts of town with her three small children. When her car breaks down on a dark and stormy night, she's rescued by Nick Morelli, her high school boyfriend. He offers her a job but he doesn't tell her that he's her new landlord -- the property developer who just bought her house. As Becca falls in love with Nick again, he wonders if he'll be able to keep his secret and her love to make a Family by Design (4). Roxann Delaney's turbulent tale of two lovers trying to make things right, but not always succeeding the way that they'd planned, is a winner. The antics of Becca's children and Nick's extended family are great!

Family By Design was a joyful romp of a read that kept me up past my bedtime. I couldn't put it down - I had to read all of it.
—Julie Wilkinson, Reader
This is a fun second chance at love tale due to the zany support characters, her children and best friend, and his family. Their good intelligent design of matchmaking seems to keep the lead couple from each other's arms rather than bring them together. Readers will enjoy love on the Great Plains.
—Harriet Klausner
