Women's Fiction
A tender, funny, effervescent novel about reconnecting cousins, family secrets, and a season of change
βYour family will find you.β It was the last thing Diotima Linzerβs mother, Roxanne, ever told her. But this was the same mother who kidnapped Di when she was eleven and fled to Europe where her broken-hearted fatherβand the FBIβwould never find them. Now a single mom herself, Di is making a belated return to the States with her two-year-old son, Max, searching for the father she lost. That means moving in temporarily with her cousin Alecia and Aleciaβs fiancΓ©, Ben, in a Pittsburgh apartment crowded with wedding gifts.
If thatβs not already a recipe for disaster, Di soon finds herself falling for the wealthy, handsome, βnearly divorcedβ father who hires her as a nanny for his troubled teenage son, while her cousin Alecia, preoccupied by her promotion to television news anchor and a prenup she hasnβt mentioned to her fiancΓ©, has to cope with the sudden reappearance of her estranged motherβwho may hold the secret to Diβs parentsβ past. Suddenly these two very different cousinsβone searching for direction in the universe, the other desperate to stop her well-ordered life from unravelingβ are about to discover that the family they thought theyβd lost may have found them instead.
