#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery masterfully explores the definition of a modern family-blended by surprise, not by choice-and how those complicated relationships can add unexpected richness to life.
Life is meant to be savored, but that's not easy with no family, limited prospects and a past you'd rather not talk about.
Callie Smith doesn't know how to feel when she discovers she has a brother and a sister-Malcolm, who grew up with affection, wealth and privilege, and Keira, a streetwise twelve-year-old. Despite her trepidation, she moves into the grand family home with her siblings and grandfather on the shores of Lake Washington, hoping just maybe this will be the start of a whole new life.
But starting over can be messy. Callie and Keira fit in with each other, but not with their posh new lifestyle, leaving Malcolm feeling like the odd man out in his own home. Becoming a family will take patience, humor, a little bit of wine and a whole lot of love. But love isn't Malcolm's strong suit...until he learns that an open heart, like the family table, can always make room for more.
