From Here To Maternity
A Second Chance\Promoted to Mom\On Angel's Wings
Motherhood doesn't always wait for the perfect moment.
UNEXPECTING…AGAIN!
When the daughter she gave up for adoption appears in her life eager to meet both her birth parents, Amelia Copperstone nervously agrees to track down a man she hasn't seen in thirty years. What she finds is rekindled passion--and, at age forty-eight, a very unexpected pregnancy.
IMPERFECT TIMING
April Renquist is riding the corporate fast track when pregnancy challenges her to sort out her priorities: from the fiancé she broke up with, to the fears that plague her…to the dawning realization that perhaps life doesn't stop with motherhood.
HOME AT LAST
A couple shattered by the loss of their daughter opens their home to an orphaned Russian girl--unprepared for the emotion she unleashes. As guilt and grief war with the need to love a child again, the remarkable little girl offers healing and hope.

About the author
Tara Taylor Quinn
378 books1,456 followersTara Taylor Quinn began her love affair with Harlequin when she was fourteen years old and picked up a free promotional copy of a Harlequin Romance in a hometown grocery store. The relationship was solidified the year she was suspended from her high school typing class for hiding a Harlequin Romance behind the keys of her electric typewriter. Unaware that her instructor loomed close by, Ms. Quinn read blissfully on with one finger resting on the automatic repeating period key. She finished the book in the principal’s office. Forced to leave her romances in her locker after that, Ms. Quinn’s typing skills improved - a fact for which she is eternally grateful.

A Mother’s Touch (also published as From Here To Maternity) is an omnibus of three short stories.
A Second Chance by Tara Taylor Quinn tells the story of 48 year-old business executive, Amelia Copperstone, who is shocked to find herself pregnant. When she was sixteen, she gave up a baby for adoption. Recently, that baby made contact, wanting to meet her father as well. Amelia contacted Dennis Walker on her behalf, and things just happened. Now Dennis is going to be a father again. But having a baby at forty-eight is not quite the same as having one at sixteen….. 3 stars
Promoted to Mom by Karen Rose Smith sees April Renquist finding she is pregnant to her ex-fiance, just as she gets a hard-worked-for promotion. It means she needs to head to L.A., even though the baby’s father, restauranteur Braden Galloway, is firmly established in Oklahoma. Braden is determined to be a proper father to his son, but it seems nothing he does will convince April that Oklahoma is the place to stay. A selfish woman and a single-minded man finally see sense, but mostly you just want to give April a good shake! 2 stars
On Angel’s Wings by Inglath Cooper sees grieving parents Clay and Rachel Foster slowly coming apart at the loss of their daughter Emma. But as a favour to her best friend, Rachel accepts one of a group of Russian orphans coming to Maryland on a summer vacation, a nine-year-old whose host arrangement fell through at the last minute. Sasha’s presence somehow brings two dead souls and an ailing marriage back to life. 3 stars
Three sweet stories of not-so-ordinary motherhood.

I thought it was excellent. I was in a time crunch and only read one part of this book. I hope to go back and read the other two parts. I only read "On Angel's Wings" by Inglath Cooper.
