A Little Ray of Sunshine
by Kristan HigginsA kid walks into your bookstore and… Guess what? He&’s your son. The one you put up for adoption eighteen years ago. The one you never told anyone about. Surprise! And a huge surprise it is. It&’s a huge surprise to his adoptive mother, Monica, who thought she had a close relationship with Matthew, her nearly adult son. But apparently, he felt the need to secretly arrange a vacation to Cape Cod for the summer so he could meet his birth mother…without a word to either her or his dad. It&’s also a surprise— to say the least—to Harlow, the woman who secretly placed her baby for adoption so many years ago. She&’s spent the years since then building a quiet life. She runs a bookstore with her grandfather, hangs out with her four younger siblings and is more or less happily single, though she can&’t help gravitating toward Grady Byrne, her old friend from high school. He&’s moved back to town, four-year-old daughter in tow, no wife in the picture. But she&’s always figured her life had to be child-free, so that complicates things. When Matthew walks into Harlow&’s store, she faints. Monica panics. And all their assumptions—about what being a parent really means—explode. This summer will be full of more surprises as both their families are redefined…and as both women learn that for them, there&’s no limit to a mother&’s love.
