It was supposed to be a last meeting to sign divorce papers. Then passion overtook them and Maggie King walked away with more than just a legal decree—she was pregnant with the child Justice King had always refused to give her. A fact she would never dare reveal to him. But when circumstances forced her back to the King ranch, she could hide her secret no longer. Justice had a son, one he desperately wanted to deny was his own. Because admitting the boy to be his blood kin would mean he'd made the biggest mistake of his life.

This book is about infant mortality decline, the rise of the infant welfare movement, outcomes in terms of changing priorities in child health and what happened to mothers and babies. Infant welfare raised public awareness but did not contribute as powerfully to improved infant survival - and so longer life - as protagonists claimed. This work shows what it meant for reformers, babies and mothers when the call was 'population is power: the nation that has the babies has the future'.

Gina has been in love with the first son of the King family, Adam, for years, but it’s always been one-sided. She’s ready to give up on him, until one day her father tells Adam that he’s willing to give him a piece of the land he has always wanted if he agrees to marry his daughter. Gina feels relieved after hearing that Adam instantly turned down the offer. But she also thinks this could be her chance. After careful deliberation, she goes to Adam with her mind made up and says, “I want a baby.”

When Justice saw the baby in his wife’s arms, he was confused and assured Maggie that he would not grant her only wish. A little over a year ago Maggie was convinced that there was no future with Justice, who insisted he would not have a child, and so she approached her then-estranged husband with divorce papers. However, they were carried away by their passions and Maggie made love with Justice before they could come to an agreement—hence the baby. And soon Maggie will find out the real reason Justice didn’t want a child…
