Special Delivery by Danielle Steel
This book follows the story of a few couples. Paul is a movie producer and his wife Jan is trying desperately to get pregnant and has been through testings and it's not her fault.
Her mother has just lost her husband-her second marriage but Amanada and Jack get together and he is able to talk Paul into going to a doctor.
The older couple find out she's expecting a baby and it takes him a while to warm up to that fact. They had a hard time just telling their kids that they were a couple, there's no way
they can tell them about the baby...tragic delivery...
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

This is such a dull read, nearly lull me to sleep. I wasn't expecting such prose as I've read better ones from Danielle Steel. It's predictable and unoriginal, could have been better.

Jack Watson e Amanda Robbins sono due consuoceri molto diversi: lui gioca ancora a fare il playboy, lei è felicemente sposata e non lo trova affatto simpatico.
Ma quando Amanda resta vedova il suo mondo si sgretola e durante il pranzo di Natale, trascorso insieme alla famiglia al completo, fra lei e Jack nasce
un sentimento inatteso, ma forte e sincero.
