A NECESSARY END

Novel. Thirty-nine-year-old Adrienne has tried before to adopt a child, but this time, nothing is going to get in her way--even if her husband Gabe is ambivalent about fatherhood. Now the birth mother wants to live with them for a year, to get a fresh start, or so she says. It seems a small price to pay, and with Gabe suddenly on board, what could possibly go wrong?
