A 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 it's a huge surprise.
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 Monica 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 Harlow has 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.

      Narrators Xe Sands, Laural Merlington, and Jeannie Sheneman inhabit an assortment of ordinary people who are trying to understand their world and themselves. Bookstore owner Harlow secretly had a baby when she was 17. She gave him up to a loving couple, SanJay and Monica Patel. Now, eighteen years later, Harlow's son, Matthew, walks into her bookstore, and she faints. As Harlow revisits the past, Sands's performance is heartbreakingly honest. Jeannie Sheneman portrays hurt, angry adoptive mother Monica with maternal fierceness, while Laural Merlington's Cynthia is top-notch, never missing a snarky nuance. As various reactions to Matthew's appearance shake up Harlow's world, each narrator develops credible characters who discover various paths to love and other emotional connections.
