An unexpected love story...
Jules Strauss is a Princeton senior with a full scholarship,
acquaintances instead of friends, and a family she's ashamed to
invite to Parents' Weekend. With the income she'll receive from
donating her "pedigree" eggs, she believes she can save her father
from addiction.
Annie Barrow married her high school sweetheart and became the
mother to two boys. After years of staying at home and struggling
to support four people on her husband's salary, she thinks she's
found a way to recover a sense of purpose and bring in some extra
cash.
India Bishop, thirty-eight (really forty-three), has changed
everything about herself: her name, her face, her past. In New York
City, she falls for a wealthy older man, Marcus Croft, and decides
a baby will ensure a happy ending. When her attempts at pregnancy
fail, she turns to technology, and Annie and Jules, to help make
her dreams come true.
But each of their plans is thrown into disarray when Marcus'
daughter Bettina, intent on protecting her father, becomes
convinced that his new wife is not what she seems...
With startling tenderness and laugh-out-loud humor, Jennifer Weiner
once again takes readers into the heart of women's lives in an
unforgettable, timely tale that interweaves themes of class and
entitlement, surrogacy and donorship, the rights of a parent and
the measure of motherhood.
