Things have been good for Eve and Ruby ever since they moved to Madeline Island in northern Wisconsin. Their apron-making business has taken off, their once- dilapidated cottage is now the envy of the town, theyβve made great new friends, and thereβs always lots of love and laughter. But thereβs still something missing from Eveβs lifeβher daughter. When she was just seventeen, Eve gave her up for adoptionβand not a day has gone by where she hasnβt wondered . . .
Professor Helen Williams isnβt sure what to make of the breezy letter from her βbiologicalβ mother, inviting her for a visit as if theyβve been dear pals who just happened to lose touch. Sheβs not so sure she wants to know this woman who decided to pass her off to someone else. But curiosity gets the better of her, and soon Helen finds herself careening through the middle of Eve and Rubyβs marvelous, madcap world. And before long, sheβs realizing that getting to know her new mother is the best gift of all . . .
