As Though You Were Mine by J. Marie Rundquist

hopeful sad fast-paced

What a beautiful and heartwarming story that will tug at your heartstrings! 

Julie becomes an instant mother to twins Lucy and Mikey when her brother and sister in law die in an accident.  She gave them her eggs to help them conceive and she's named guardian over them. She goes through the many struggles many new parents go through with even more struggles with Mikey's nightmares and Lucy's tantrums and just trying to give all their new world their best shot.

The way she just loves these kids like they are her own and how committed she is to giving them the best care is wonderful. When the "father", Grant, shows up to give his support.. He's welcomed with an openess that's a bit surprising but what a great fit he is!
