About
Julia finally has her life just the way she wants it: great friends, her own house, a car that goes (mostly) and a promotion on the horizon. As soon as her perfect man comes along the equation will be complete.
Then the phone rings. Her best friend Anita is dead and everything changes.
Three days later Julia has inherited an eighteen-month-old toddler called Jack. Struggling with grief at the loss of Anita, Julia's first faltering days with her friend's son seem doomed: he'd rather spend his time with a brown plastic toad called Harold and eats nothing but fairy bread. Her life quickly unravels as she attempts to manage Jack, an obsessive client and a brother who sees himself as the next celebrity chef.
But after an embarrassing incident at the gym and a run-in with an ice-cream truck, things start to improve in surprising ways. Julia begins to wonder whether Jack's arrival was not the end of the world, but an unexpected and priceless gift... Kris Webb and Kathy Wilson are sisters who grew up in Brisbane. Kris worked as a lawyer for Walt Disney in Hong Kong until having her first child. She now lives in northern NSW with her husband and two daughters. Kathy worked as a marketing executive in Sydney and now has her own consultancy in Brisbane, where she lives with her husband and two sons.
