For Keeps — Chautona Havig

Since when does a "mother" of eight have time for romance?

With 9-1-1 on speed dial, and a baby who's not afraid to call it, Aggie's got her hands full. Her first six months of "motherhood" included an ant infestation, a major move, house renovation, and lessons in how to be a mom to eight lively children.

Now that the house is nearly complete, her children are headed back to school, and she has a few tantrums under her hymn-singing belt, Aggie is certain life will settle down. Isn't she cute?

Instead, chicken pox, a last-minute decision to homeschool, and the Grandmother-in-law's histrionics, along with a few dozen other things make her run away from home. And when it seems like she's at her wit's end, a surprise letter arrives, everything could turn upside down.

Relief is in sight, but can she bring herself to jump to plan B?

Has this just been a practice game, or is she playing for keeps? Read For Keeps today to find out!
