Kate Hopper can list a million reasons why she doesn’t have kids. No, more like reasons why she shouldn’t have kids: genetics, a dysfunctional family, and ultimately, the fear that she wasn’t cut out to be June Cleaver or Carol Brady or Claire Huxtable. TV moms always made it look so easy, but Kate knows better.

When Kate’s little sister, Joely, refuses a medical treatment because it will leave her infertile, Kate is willing to say anything to save her sister’s life—even promising to have a baby. Kate decides to keep her rash words a secret from her husband until she can figure out whether she really wants to be a mother. Especially since they agreed their marriage would remain childless.

A sister’s promise and a wife’s promise: Kate must break one. Should she risk everything she has for the unknown?

As a full time mother who recently gave up a 14 year career to stay home with my baby, this book really spoke to me! I rarely have time to read an internet post let alone read an entire novel; yet, I could not put this book down. I pulled my first non-baby related all-nighter just to finish it! The characters in this story expertly drew me in to topics I myself struggled with as many women today do. The story speaks to you no matter where you stand on career, motherhood, family, and friendship. The characters are very believable and relatable. This is an excellent read and very relevant to today’s woman. If you enjoy Jennifer Weiner, Emily Giffin, or Sinead Moriarty, you will love this book!
