A tender, funny, effervescent novel about reconnecting
cousins, family secrets, and a season of
change
“Your family will find you.” It was
the last thing Diotima Linzer’s 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
father—and the FBI—would 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 Alecia’s fiancé, Ben, in a Pittsburgh apartment
crowded with wedding gifts.
If that’s not already
a recipe for disaster, Di soon finds herself falling for
the wealthy, handsome, “nearly divorced” 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 hasn’t mentioned to her
fiancé, has to cope with the sudden reappearance of her
estranged mother—who may hold the secret to Di’s parents’
past. Suddenly these two very different cousins—one
searching for direction in the universe, the other
desperate to stop her well-ordered life from unraveling—
are about to discover that the family they thought they’d
lost may have found them instead.
