Excelente libro

Un libro excelente. Una magistral historia que toca la historia de tres parejas y sus puntos de vista en torno a la maternidad y a las dificultades que se encuentran en el camino.

Mixed Emotions

"Mixed Blessings" follows couples who marry and face the question of whether they want to have children or not and how they overcome their infertility.I really began to resent, and almost hate, Barbi. I thought that maybe Charlie hadn't really thought about the marriage completely before he married her, or perhaps he was hoping that she would settle down and change her mind.However, I questioned why Pilar would want to have a child with Brad, considering that he is already 60. By the time the child graduates from high school, he would be pushing 80.I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this book, considering 1 in 5 people will have difficulty conceiving. And I think that people can also relate to the characters on the basis of "What do I really want in life?"

Wonderful and heartwarming stories

Danielle Steel created three couples that must make decisions of whether or not to have children, and how far they are willing to go to have, or not to have them. Each story has sacrifices they must make, and each sacrifice comes with it's own reward or problem. Danielle Steel is a wonderful writer, always providing unique conflicts and struggles, and not always the best ending. This story is a bit unusual, as the characters are more everyday people and dealing with their inner conflict of defining their family, whether it be with or without children, to determine their lifestyle. Very interesting and warm story.

very nice and touching story

It's a story of three different couples who tried so hard to have a child. Very touching.

A Good Read!

This is the first DS book I've read, and it's bound to be the best! "Mixed Blessings" is a great book with several surprises. Sometimes it can get kind of repeated, but otherwise good. I was always looking forward to the next bit about Diana and Andy. Looking for a sequel! Can anyone reccomend a good followup?
