Book Review By Rachael High
Bluebird Winter by Linda Howard

Kathleen Fields went into labor a month early. She went off the road in the middle of a blizzard. She had given up hope of saving her baby when Derek Taliferro, a neonatal specialist, finds her. He takes her back home and delivers her baby, a beautiful baby girl named Risa. He falls in love with her and her mother instantly.

Derek plays on Kathleen's financial situation in an attempt to get her to marry him. She does, and together they begin to raise Risa. Kathleen eventually falls in love with Derek too, and they finally make their marriage real.
