Sarah Moon is a laid-back, small-town girl living the high society life in Chicago with her real estate developer husband Jack. While Jack spends his days working long hours to provide a posh life for the couple, Sarah works from home as a cartoonist on her strip about Shirl -- Sarah's sassy alter-ego.

Jack and Sarah met while she was in college in Chicago. They fell in love, got married and then Jack got cancer. Sarah devoted her life to helping Jack recover, only to find that once he did, their marriage did not. Desperate for a baby, the couple started fertility treatments to make Sarah's dream come true since Jack's fertility was impaired by cancer treatments...or so she thought.

One eventful day, Sarah decides to drop in on Jack at work only to find that Jack has clearly regained his virility in the arms of another woman. Devastated, Sarah flees Chicago for her small-town roots and to figure out where her life went off the tracks. While back in her hometown, Sarah's life becomes even more complex when she discovers she's finally pregnant with Jack's babies. Of course, the story wouldn't be complete without the appearance of an old love.

Wiggs' writing is smooth and effortless as she tells Sarah's tale. The storyline was eventful, emotional and created empathy...all good qualities to carry a reader through to the end of a great book!
