| Summary |
"When Samantha is given a second chance at love at the age of 40, she moves to southwestern France, thinking she's prepared for her new role in life as an instant American wife and stepmom. It turns out, though, that making a French family takes more than just good intentions and a quick lesson in croissant-baking. Even while suffering from culture shock and struggling to parent her 10-year-old stepson and 13-year-old stepdaughter in a culture drastically different from her own, Samantha is determined to adapt to her adopted homeland--because when love and and a new life is on the line, giving up isn't an option"--Provided by publisher |
