When Seth proposes a change in their relationship, Melissa is afraid of competing with Clair for Seth's love. The Trouble With Twins is a lovely story about loss, grief, and finding love again. Melissa and Seth struggle to raise their children while trying to move on with their lives. Finding each other is a gift they both needed and deserved. Seth and Melissa are strong, endearing characters that I couldn't help but cheer for. Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
