If you are a Karen Kingsbury fan, you have been anticipating her brand new book Unlocked. She even had an excerpt of it in her latest Baxter Family series. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to review it! But, here I sit unsure of what to write. To be honest, about half way through a typical review book, I am already starting to outline ...

Today has been an emotional day. Nothing has happened really out of the ordinary. Just filled with various emotions. As I have blogged before, this has not been an easy pregnancy.
