Summary:

This is a major re-write of the novel based on the great feedback I've received from reviewers here. The first chapter is entirely new, and I've decided to delay the introduction of a couple of the characters a bit because I got the impression the back and forth was confusing some readers. I think this is essentially a chick lit story, but I've received some great feedback from the men here, so guys, please don't be scared off. Nicole is a single working mother in her late thirties. At the beginning of the novel she finds that she is pregnant with the child of her younger, unemployed live-in boyfriend. As the story progresses, we find out how she deals with the pregnancy, learn more about how she came to be in this seemingly dead-end relationship and why she stays, and ultimately get to see her create the life she's always dreamed of, but not without some hurdles along the way. Review wise, I am interested in any and all feedback, from the smallest nits to comments on story flow, dialogue, etc. Feel free to jump in and review any chapter -- I don't mind if you don't start at the beginning.
