Description
Lacey did everything right. She followed the rules, made the right choices, checked all the boxes. And yet here she is, facing divorce and effectively homeless.
With an eight-year-old son struggling with ADHD and nowhere else to turn, Lacey answers a life-saving ad for a house share. When she arrives at Wildwood Lane she finds a ramshackle house with a welcoming bright yellow door and a wraparound porch with its cozy couch and scattered toys. And inside, three single moms who have forged their own rules for survival.
As Lacey battles her conspiracy-theorist ex-husband for custody while juggling a new, make-or-break job, she discovers these women offer more than shared childcare, communal dinners and late nights bonding over wine after the kids’ bedtime. They’re building something revolutionary: a chosen family where women don’t just survive–they thrive.
But when her enigmatic housemate comes up with a risky plan that could secure her financially and protect her son’s future, she faces an impossible choice: How far will she go to protect the family she’s found?
A fierce, tender novel about how sometimes women have to break the rules to build the life they really want. Perfect for readers who loved Big Little Lies and All They Need to Know.
