SOME EARLY TAKES:

"... rendered with humor and heart."
-- People

"... a laugh-and-cry novel whose plot includes equal portions of heartache and hope."
-- The Chicago Tribune

"Asher creates an unconventional family—one brought together by a flawed but lovable man and kept together by a wounded but openhearted woman. As each character’s individual story is revealed, the reader is further enveloped by this humorous yet touching tale."
-- Booklist

"... a parade of memorable women keep pages turning..."
-- Publishers Weekly

"Each character in this wry and beguiling book has a fresh take on love: how it tricks and blindsides us, makes us crazy, elated, sad; how we can't stop giving it; how it ennobles our lives. As Lucy and her husband's sweethearts reluctantly form a family as unlikely as it is beautiful, I found myself falling -- falling hard -- for every single one of them."
-- Marisa Del Los Santos, New York Times Bestselling Author of Love Walked In and Belong to Me

".. a whip-smart, tender, and eccentric tale that chronicles all the ways forgiveness can come to us; don't miss this ride."
-- Joshilyn Jackson, Bestselling Author of Gods of Alabama; Between, Georgia, and The Girl Who Stopped Swimming
