Kit Darling escaped her hometown, Pritchard Neck to avoid the stigma she grew up with of being Babe Darling's daughter. Everyone there always assumed "the apple doesn't grow far from the tree." Tired of fighting stereotypes, Kit's reinvented herself as Seafaring Cecil and has been traveling the world looking for her place in it. Now she's back to clear out the home her mother has abandoned; she's run off with yet another man. Kit's main goal is to get her mother's affairs settled as quickly as possible, and get on with yet another adventure. She never expects that the greatest adventure of her life is about to begin right there in Pritchard's Neck. Sean McCabe is an upstanding citizen and parent in Pritchard's Neck, but hasn't been able to squelch his desire for adventure. Luckily, his adorable daughter Alex shares his adventurous spirit. While biding her time waiting for the right moment to tackle the town bully, Stu Hardy, Kit finds a determination she didn't realize was within her to practice tough love with her mother. But, can she take that next step towards the greatest adventure of all LOVE! Sean and Alex, ready for the adventuring sort of life, are willing to wait for her so they can all go forth on the adventure of love and life together. THE TRICK TO GETTING A MOM by Amy Frazier will make a wonderful addition to any series reader's book shelf.

SUMMARY

Alex didn't want to be too pushy. She'd heard her dad say Kit Darling was a wild thing, and she knew you had to be patient with wild things or you might scare them off. And she wanted the famous travel writer to stick around. Kit was not only way cool, she actually listened to Alex — and made her dad smile a whole lot. For the first time since her mom died, he seemed really happy. But how was Alex going to make freedom-loving Kit stay in Pritchard's Neck when she was so desperate to get out?
