Synopsis

Love was given to all, except herself . . .

Kit Brennan has always been the most grounded of her sisters. A Catholic school English teacher for seventeen years and a constant giver, her decisions have been sound—just not very satisfying. Her fortieth birthday is right around the corner, causing Kit to consider some wilder notions, like skipping right past the love and marriage to raising a child all by herself . . .

A girls’ weekend away is just the reprieve Kit needs from school, Mr. Wrongs, and life-changing decisions. It’s there that she meets a man who’s dangerous; a man who challenges who she thought she was, or rather should be. Kit wants to indulge herself this once, but with one of her students in crisis and the weight of her family’s burdens weighing heavy on her heart, Kit isn’t sure if now is the time to let her own desires take flight . . .

About the Author:

Jane Porter is the award-winning author of The Good Woman, She’s Gone Country, Easy on the Eyes, Flirting with Forty (basis for the Lifetime movie), and several other novels. There are more than 5 million copies of her books in print. 

From Booklist:

Porter continues the Brennan family series (The Good Woman, 2012) with Kit, who knows she will make a good wife and mother, if she can find the right man. After investing nearly a decade in a relationship that turns out to be a dead end, Kit tries online dating with no success. Even a chance date with a friend of a friend turns out to be a bust when Michael Dempsey informs her that he’s not “technically” divorced. Kit considers the possibility of adoption as a way to start a family on her own, but puts that plan on hold when Michael shows up at the Catholic school where she teaches to enroll his stepdaughter, Delilah. Suddenly Kit is caught up in the plight of a young woman whose own home life is anything but perfect. Deftly switching viewpoints between Kit and Delilah, Porter tells a wrenching tale about complicated family dynamics, caring for a dying loved one, and spousal abuse, but her deeply perceptive writing and exhilaratingly authentic characters ultimately make this an optimistic story. --John Charles
