Description

Now in paperback: "A lovely, funny story about the saving graces of surrogate families and unexpected love." (New York Times bestselling author Lolly Winston)

At thirty-six, Prudence Whistler has begun to notice a trend of which she is not a part. Her girlfriends have tied the knot and had babies. Her gay best friend is discussing marriage with his partner. Even her irresponsible younger sister has become a single mom. So when Pru is dumped by her lackluster boyfriend of two years, she panics, fearing she's lost her chance at the traditional family she'd always planned to have. But as she sets about changing her life, Pru begins accumulating an ad-hoc family around her, stumbling onto something better: a new definition of family and happiness, one that will inspire her to realize her dreams--and just may deliver true love in the bargain.
