Baby Steps by Matilda Martel

Ginger
Who says you can’t leave the rat race? The call of money can be all-consuming, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the biological clock that’s been ticking since I turned twenty-eight.
One month from my thirtieth birthday, I decide I’ve had enough.
I find out my favorite house, the one I daydreamed about when I was young, is up for sale. It’s the perfect home to raise my family, and it’s the ideal place to start over—my hometown.
Maybe I don’t have a husband, but I’ve waited long enough.
I’m tired of waiting for the right man to come along. I’m going after what I want and having the family I need.

I didn’t mean to fall in love with an older woman. It just happened. When you’re ten years old, you follow your heart. And that’s just what I did.
I followed it straight to sixteen-year-old Ginger Fox, the prettiest girl in our small town of Abbott and my eldest sister’s best friend.
I didn’t stand a chance against her fiery red hair and pale blue eyes. When she left for the big city, she broke my heart in two. I never got over her, and I never stopped waiting for the day our paths would cross again.
But now she’s back. She wants to build a life in Abbott, and she wants a baby.
If she only knew how long I’ve been waiting to give her one.
