Remember Family

A Healing Hearts Short Story

What happens when there’s a new member to the Wilkes family?

Little Aurora is asking that very same question as she’s faced with the impending arrival of a new baby between her mother and her stepfather. Will she be replaced? Will they love her as much?

This is a short story set in the Healing Hearts Sweet Romance series and does not stand alone. It should be read after Remember Love and is a little bit of emotional tenderness dealing with relationships, childbirth, and that precious time that follows for the Wilkes family.

Sibling Rivalry!

It’s always interesting within families to see the interactions between siblings. Kids raised the same way can be completely opposite of each other or exactly the same. For little Aurora to be unsure about the arrival of her new baby brother is very common amongst children in all families. The way that Colin and Ava handled the situation was so sweet and understanding. Although they were trying to be inclusive with her, I would’ve been a bit reluctant to allow her to name the new younger brother. Telling her she could do that opened themselves to possible major disappointment by Aurora if the name wasn’t accepted. I really enjoyed the inclusion of some of the other army buddies and their wives. And their relationships. Such close camaraderie is truly heartwarming.
