Erin McAvoy is living her best life. A lover of tacos, witty T-shirts, and Pinterest, Erin is always ready to tell you about her favorite thing - the animals she tends to at one of the nation's best zoos. But then there's that other thing she doesn't like to talk about: how a supposedly-for-fun DNA test revealed that Erin has a strong genetic predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer. She'd like to conveniently ignore that elephant in the room, except for the fact that unless she does something soon, Erin will miss out on her only chance to have a baby.

Running into Amber Neville after 20 years wasn’t on Dr. Jackson Parker’s list of things to do. Amber had been head girl to his head boy, and from what he remembers, she was British, stuck up, and bossy.... But the red-haired beauty she’s grown into leaves him stunned. Newly returned from a job in Canada, Amber remembers Jackson as a brash and rude American - not at all the even-tempered, handsome doctor he's turned out to be. But she can’t get involved, not with the massive burden she bears - a burden that has to remain hidden at all costs.

Death and destruction, births and deaths.
The saga again continues, with many births, deaths and marriages. However, the influenza epic brings home what the current world situation is. We just have to hope that is the only thing that this series mimics with the current world turmoil.

Good book
This audio book was a promotion, that has nothing to do with my voluntary review. I did yell at the machine a bit, but most of the hardships where resolved. I did enjoy the characters, in all the series so far. I recommend this book, and series. I left a similar review on Goodreads.
