It began with a meeting in a random conference room. Two people existing, but not living. That meeting started a journey of love, laughter and hope. It has been anything but easy and there have been more tears than either ever wanted to shed. But there has always been love. That’s always been the bottom line. Tommy and Brittany have seen it all and survived. They have been a constant source of inspiration to their families and they truly appreciate the miracles they have been given. Brittany has worked incredibly hard to survive the horrors of her past, despite how they resurfaced and in spite of so many trying to bring her down. Being HIV positive has never been easy, but Brittany has always tried to make her life about so much more than what a group of monsters did to her. Things were going well, until someone tried to use her disease as a weapon; a weapon against someone she loves. Her husband reached his limit. Her daughter was seriously ill. Jack was dealing with the possibility of being infected. A person can only take so much before they break. Tommy might be the only one who can reach her. He has to. He can’t live without his “Red”.

This book dragged and dragged and dragged. I felt like Nadler was trying to tie up lose ends emotionally with the characters but it was redundant of all the other novels and tiresome.
With everything seeming to resolve itself, I had a feeling the series would jump ahead a few years. With the jump in time (9 years so the kids are teenagers, almost teens), I would have liked Nadler to wrap this series then include this literally new chapter of the chapters live within a whole new series.
The piece of Mike telling Eden to write down events of her day in a journal or to go out and tell them to the stars while he is deployed was amazing because of this... "I'll look up at the stars each night and listen to you." My heart swelled and I almost got teary-eyed.
I've said this over and over and over again that this series could have been shorten significantly. Then we could have a whole new series to read with the children being older.
Nadler wrote a compelling ending segment. I kept thinking "someone please wake up, someone please wake up," but no one has been through this much of a dream before so I was fairly certain it was true. My heart was just breaking and I wanted to cry so badly.
It would have served better in a new novel, but wow!
Overall, this novel was a lot of back and forth non-sense, tying up loose ends. It eded with a cliffhanger, but again the jump in time could have occurred in it's own novel with a brand new series; the link to Nick is weak to this series to continue it.
There are still 4 books or so left in the series so I'm curious what Nadler has tried to fill in them in terms of writing.
3 out of 5 stars.

Once again, another fabulous book in the Family By Choice Series! I'm anxious to see what's happening to everyone as they begin to find out what happened to Mike. On to Book 19!
