Fun, smart commercial women's fiction from a nationally best-selling author.

Rebecca Strand has a half-sister? What?! Her beloved father’s deathbed confession, of a long-ago summer affair, of a baby he didn’t acknowledge, shocks twenty-eight-year-old Rebecca. The New York City paralegal’s superstar lawyer boyfriend thinks Rebecca should forget all about the half-sister—just like her father did. “She’s just going to want her share of his million-dollar estate,” he warns. But Rebecca wants to meet the only family she has left: Joy Jayhawk, a twenty-six-year-old single mother who runs match-making tours out of her orange minibus. When she arrives in the small Maine coastal town, Rebecca doesn’t exactly receive a warm welcome, except by the quirky, loveable townspeople—including a sexy carpenter named Theo. Joy insists DNA is overrated and wants nothing to do with Rebecca—at first . . .

A warm, witty novel about a young woman trying to establish family bonds with the half-sister who might not even be her relative—and choose between two very different men and two very different lives.
