Rating:  Summary: A humerous story Review: With one year to go in her residency, Dr. Delaney Poole visits Harp Cove, Maine for the first time because she wants to practice medicine there. The town with its winter population of five thousand seems perfect to Delaney. So she prays that the National Health Service agrees to allow her to pay off her medical debt to them by assigning her there for three years following completion of her residency. Perhaps it is her elation over the town, but Delaney shares an intimacy with Sailboat Jack. One year later, Delaney and her infant Emily return so that the former can set up her medical practice. However, she is stunned when Jack Shepard of Sailboat Jack fame enters her office due to an accident he just suffered. She is shocked to learn he is not from Cape Cod, but a local who happens to be her landlord as well as her baby�s father. Unable to cope, Delaney begins a series of fabrications that soon prove the adage �oh what a web we weave when we first deceive� especially when love further obfuscates the situation. Any novel that can include a reference to the Silver Surfer has to be admired even if MAYBE BABY requires reader acceptance on why Delaney escalates her house of lies. Once taking that leap, readers will find the humorous story line quite genial even with its serious undertone that rural America needs doctors. The lead couple is an alluring duo in spite of the mendacious Delaney�s growing fears of discovery. Elaine Fox furnishes the audience a lively contemporary romance. Harriet Klausner
