About this listen
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. Still, 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 12-year-old. Callie doesn’t love being alone, but at least it’s safe. 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. He was clever enough to turn a sleepy Seattle mail-order food catalog into an Online gourmet powerhouse, yet he can’t figure out how to help his new sisters feel secure. 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 a beautiful barista teaches him that an open heart, like the family table, can always make room for more.
In this emotional, funny, and heartfelt story, 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.

Beautiful story with a great narrator.
A truly gifted writer. Her characters have such depth, complexity and are fully believable.
The narrator is perfect.
This is a truly delightful story from start to finish.
Sex/desire is touched on a few times and described in detail just once. This is done extremely tastefully. Any woman who has felt intense desire will be able to fully connect with that character and all should be able to appreciate the beautiful way the author describes intimacy. Though obviously this is not a prerequisite to enjoying the book.
This is a love story but it is so much more. From love for a partner to love within a family both newly formed and well established. From respect for yourself to respect for others. Showing that we should all forgive ourselves for our mistake and learn to love and trust again in whatever form that mat take.
There are many parts of this book that are more useful than any of the best selling self help books. Never preaching or pushy, always indirect and always through the character driven story.
The author always has characters that are fully fleshed out. They're always "real" people with flaws, baggage and full back stories. There are no plastic, perfect people and I love that in all of her books. Whether they are male or female, child or OAP they are relatable and you care about them as you follow their ups and downs and personal growth.
If you enjoy stories of romance and hope you should buy this book.
