This week’s pre-publication “can’t-wait-to-read” Crazy-for-Books selection is:
“Rebecca Strand, a 28-year-old New York City paralegal, is shocked when her dying father confesses his long-ago affair–and the baby he’d turned his back on. This fragile connection to 26-year-old half-sister Joy Joyhawk is all Rebecca has left of family. And so with her lawyer boyfriend’s protests ringing in her ears (“She’s just going to want her share of his million-dollar estate!”), Rebecca drives to Wiscasset, Maine, with the 26 letters her father wrote to Joy (but never sent) every year on her birthday. Having no idea what to expect, Rebecca knocks on Joy Jayhawk’s door.
Turns out Joy, the separated mother of a little boy (Rebecca has a nephew!), isn’t very interested in the “father” who turned his back on her existence from day one–or her “sister.” But Rebecca is so determined to establish family bonds with Joy that she doesn’t go home . . . and finds herself being welcomed into small life by some very loveable, quirky characters, including the Divorced Ladies Club of Wiscasset and a sexy carpenter named Theo . . . “
