Being a single mother at the age of thirty-six was never on Lauren Mitchell's things-to-do list. Struggling to maintain her status on the mommy track, she fights the good fight with her libido, and avoids fights at all costs with her ex-husband. Then Lauren and her ex-husband's closest friend, Graham Young, returns to their hometown. His reintroduction into their lives tests loyalties and unearths long-buried secrets that leave Lauren wondering if anything in her life has been real. And just when Graham proves he is so much more than a summer lover, life throws Lauren a medical crisis with her child, an angry and still possessive ex-husband, and a handful of twenty-year-old unsent love letters.
