Women's Fiction
A tender, funny, effervescent novel about reconnecting cousins, family secrets, and a season of change
โYour family will find you.โ It was the last thing Diotima Linzerโs 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 fatherโand the FBIโwould 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 Aleciaโs fiancรฉ, Ben, in a Pittsburgh apartment crowded with wedding gifts.
If thatโs not already a recipe for disaster, Di soon finds herself falling for the wealthy, handsome, โnearly divorcedโ 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 hasnโt mentioned to her fiancรฉ, has to cope with the sudden reappearance of her estranged motherโwho may hold the secret to Diโs parentsโ past. Suddenly these two very different cousinsโone searching for direction in the universe, the other desperate to stop her well-ordered life from unravelingโ are about to discover that the family they thought theyโd lost may have found them instead.
