One wish can change everything.
This year when Jessica Martinson-Canton blows out eleven candles on her homemade vegan cake, she makes the same wish sheโs made for as many birthdays as she can remember: she wants a mother.
Jessicaโs father Phil has worked his entire life to create a more stable childhood for his daughter than he had with his unwed teenaged mother. When his wife left him and their newborn daughter in their most vulnerable hour, Phil pledged to give his baby everything. His parents have reunited and are working hard to create a supportive extended family, but rainbow pancakes and princess murals canโt heal the dark void left in Philโs heart which he wonโt even admit is there.
Mallory OโConnell leaves her dream job in a big city to return home to help her fiercely independent mother recover from tragedy. After forming a unique bond with Jessicaโand a friendship with Jessicaโs hot fatherโMallory finds that in coming back to Stonehill she might just have found a way to make all of her dreams come true. But as their families push Phil and Mallory together, old insecurities and Philโs worst fears threaten to break up the happy trio and catch Jessica in the emotional crossfire.

As a teen, Marci Bolden skipped over young adult books and jumped right into reading romance novels. She never left. Marci lives in the Midwest with her husband, kiddos, and numerous rescue pets. If she had an ounce of willpower, Marci would embrace healthy living, but until cupcakes and wine are no longer available at the local market, she will appease her guilt by reading self-help books and promising to join a gym "soon."
