Family Heirlooms Series, Book 1: Baby, Baby by Karen Wiesner

“5 Stars
Robert is from the old school, believing that Christian wives should take care of their homes and families, not having jobs outside the home. He grew up being taught that it's the man who's responsible for providing for his family financially. His wife Tamara held fast to her faith in God always making a way for them. While her marriage had weathered many storms, Robert seems to feel threatened and like a lesser man by her independence. To be fair, Robert had grown up in a family with an extremely controlling father who was a million times worse than Robert could ever be. I loved that Tamara was so giving and listened to her family and her neighbor with an understanding heart. Ultimately, Robert is a good man who cares about his wife and children. The issues he has are about his own worth and value as a husband and provider. Baby, Baby should be required reading for backwards men who need a lesson how good women are at multitasking!

Book One Family Heirloom: Accepting God's will

A Proverbs 31 wife wonders, does "submissive" mean giving up having anything of her own?

Thirty-seven-year-old Tamara Wolfe married her childhood sweetheart, Robert, right out of high school and proceeded to have a passel of children who fill her life to capacity. With the last of her children in preschool, Tamara decides to make a business out of her long-time love of creating designer gift baskets. She doesn't expect Robert to be against it from her first word.

Robert has always prided himself on giving Tamara the option of staying home to raise the children, just as his father did before him. Since birth, it's been drilled into him that a man who doesn't provide for his family is the worst kind of loser. What will happen if her business takes off? She won't have time to take care of the family. Worse, maybe she won't need him anymore. Although they'd agreed years before their family was complete, Robert considers that perhaps the cure for Tamara's restlessness is another baby.

Tamara prays for wisdom. All she wants is a small space of time for herself. Is she being selfish? Or is God leading her to continue being an outdated model of the Proverbs 31 wife--submissive, but never equal?
