Although the description of Madison's life is believable, and I found the cheating of the husband plausible, I found the actions of Zach truly unbelievable in making Madison accept her husband's child with another woman almost from the day of the husband's death. There was no healing allowed, very little grieving allowed, no time to get over the pain of the outside child, just Zach's insistance of shoving the child into Madison's life. Although I understand the child needed a home, and Zach wanted her placed before going to a posibbly uncaring foster home, forcing her on Madison was just a bit much. Maybe Madison would have taken the child in later, after she had time to grieve, but to force her to take the child that quickly just didn't work for me.
