false 42149 20 First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes....a baby carriage? Isnt that what all women want? Not so for Claudia Parr. And just as she gives up on finding a man who feels the same way, she meets warm, wonderful Ben. Things seem too good to be true when they fall in love and agree to buck tradition with a satisfying, child-free marriage. Then the unexpected occurs: one of them has a change of heart. One of them wants children after all. This is the witty, heartfelt story about what happens to the perfect couple when they suddenly want different things. Its about feeling that your life is set and then realizing that nothing is as you thought it was--and that there is no possible compromise. Its about deciding what is most important in life, and taking chances to get it. But most of all, its about the things we will do--and wont do--for love. 1488992 13 6 2006 Baby Proof total:10894|5:1723|4:3807|3:4064|2:1097|1:203| 10894 38432 14160 1325 42149 0312348649 9780312348649 9918 1156 3.53 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169872525m/42149.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42149.Baby_Proof 1 11 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Sep 26 18:01:41 -0700 2007 Sun Jan 13 15:40:14 -0800 2008 Something Borrowed and Something Blue, so I had high hopes for this book.
