Follow the Stars Home by Luanne Rice is a really good book. I picked it up at the flea market the other day and didn't realize that I had read this another time. But, I didn't remember what happened in the end so I read it again. It's about a mother who chooses the wrong brother to be with, gets pregnant and then finds out that the baby will be born with abnormalities. The brother that she chose could not handle the idea of having a child with problems and he takes off before the baby is born. The mother raises the child (who was born with significant problems) alone for 11 years with help from the brother she didn't choose who is the child's pediatrician. There is much more to the story than that, the mother takes in a 12 year old girl who is having problems at home and the brother who left is not totally out of the picture. Good book.
