Description
The air hangs heavy with the scent of old secrets and new beginnings. Nina Popkin, adrift after an orphanhood and a divorce, feels the pull of unanswered questions. For thirty-five years, she's scanned the faces of strangers, seeking a reflection, a connection. Now, she’s ready for the truth, embarking on a search for the birth mother she’s never known.
Her quest collides with Lindy McIntyre’s carefully constructed life—a successful salon, a bustling home, three children, and the quiet hum of anxiety. Lindy wants no part of this sudden sister, no disruption to her world. But Nina’s determination is a force, leading her not only to Lindy but to Phoebe Mullen, a woman as guarded as she is hard-talking, convinced she has nothing to give.
In the shared space of stories and whispered truths, a messy, unpredictable family begins to form. It’s nothing Nina imagined, yet it might be everything she needs. This is a transcendent exploration of connection, a love story that reveals real family has nothing to do with DNA.
