Consequences — John Chapman; Shelia Chapman

Book 7 of the 'A Vested Interest' series.

Although conceived by him, Sam Triplet was no longer the father of Donna's unborn child. The baby she carried now belonged to Jared Thundercloud, a man she hadn't seen for two years, in fact, they hadn't even shared their first kiss. When the discovery was made, Donna was just as shocked as everyone else, but it had been genetically proven. 

On the quest, the Dine'é Yá had intervened. They gave Donna a choice. To save her from explaining the change they'd made to her baby, the Dine'é Yá would wipe Sam's memory, and that of everyone else who helped rescue her from the Others. Sam would not remember being in love with Donna, and whatever experiences they'd shared, or how their relationship had changed Sam's character, would be lost too. The part that bothered Donna most? Sam would be given no choice in the matter.  Sam had been unfaithful to Donna, but did two wrongs make a right?

How much would Donna risk to be with Jared? How many lives was she willing to change in order to keep the extraordinary gift she'd been given? What would be the consequences of her choice? The Dine'é Yá had warned her, they would not change anything, nor would they interfere if she made the wrong choice.
