Summary
The Friessens, stars of the best-selling series, are back with The Decision, another heartwarming fan favorite romance from New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Lorhainne Eckhart.
Emily Friessen has everything a woman could want: a husband who's the love of her life, a family that stands together, and children she wouldn't trade for anything. To everyone around her, she's confident and strong - but then, she has to be with a man like Brad, who is all about family and too handsome for his own good.
Emily isn't as together as she appears, though, and when life throws her and Brad a curveball, it tests their relationship, leaving Emily scrambling and feeling very much alone as both are faced with a decision no parent should have to make.

The Decision By: Lorhainne Eckhart
Book five in The Friessens is a story I enjoyed listening to Emily has a lot she has to overcome because of her feelings while she is pregnant and she does a lot of things wrong by not thinking when she speaks. The others in this story also let you know what they are thinking and feeling. The narrator has a voice I do not mind listening to.

I guess I should of read the previous books
Basically the story is a late in life baby isn't taken with love at first, Emily isn't taking the news well, lashing out at every one, Brad is trying to be there for his wife but with impressionable teens in the house it's hard. Then they get worse news about the possibility the baby could have health issues how much can this family take. The story is well written, the narrator is doing the best they can. But even though the book kinda ends abruptly it is still a HFN ending. This series is a good family read.
