Minding Frankie
by Maeve Binchy
When Noel learns that his terminally ill former flame is pregnant with his child, he agrees to take guardianship of the baby girl once she's born; but as a single father battling demons of his own, Noel can't do it alone. He has a caring network of friends and family, but a social worker is convinced that Frankie would be better off in a foster home.
