The Life I Chose cover

At our wedding rehearsal my fiancé carried his adopted sister to the ER, then called to say she was nineteen weeks pregnant with his baby, and that I should cancel the wedding, explain it to the guests and quit my job to look after her. I laughed and said sure. Then I walked into the rehearsal dinner and put him on the big screen. It was my thirtieth birthday, and a man I'd made a bet with eight years ago was on his way to my door.
