The One That I Want by Allison Winn Scotch

Tilly had some rough years. Her mother died when Tilly was 17, her father tried to drink away his sorrow and there were two younger sisters that needed some mothering. But she survived and everything turned out - well, mostly. She is happily married to her high school sweetheart. She is a counselor at her former high school and she is reliving many of her own high school moments. But a baby - when is that going to happen? When it does everything will be perfect.
One day Tilly is at a local fair when she sees a fortune teller's booth which is run by her old childhood friend,Ashley. Instead of just reading her fortune, Ashley gives Tilly the gift of clarity. You might think that would be really great, but it doesn't work out so well for Tilly. Her happy life looks like it has a few bumps ahead. I really enjoyed reading it and I think there are a few lessons that could be learned - if you wanted to learn a lesson!
