From New York Times bestselling author, Laurie Frankel, comes a propulsive, sharply funny, and strikingly tender novel about how families are sometimes formed in the most unexpected ways.
It turns out what makes a Family isn\'t blood and it isn\'t love because no matter how they\'re formed, the hallmark of true Family is this: it\'s complicated..
That baby is now sixteen, excited to meet her birth mother and eager to help, but she also has an agenda and secrets of her own.
She also had a baby she gave up for adoption her senior year of high school.
Her daughter Fig knows they need help - and who better to call for help than family? Because India\'s not just an adoptive mom.
Soon she\'s at the center of a media storm, battling accusations from the press and the paparazzi, from protesters on the right and advocates on the left.
But India\'s an adoptive mom herself and knows there\'s so much more to her Family than tragedy.
Like so many movies about adoption, it tells only one story, a tragic one.
But while promoting her most recent project, a film about adoption, India does what you should never do -- she tells a journalist the truth: it\'s a bad movie.
Armed with a stack of index cards (which, torn into pieces, also function as make-shift confetti) and a hell of a lot of talent, she goes from awkward 16-year-old to Broadway ingenue to tv star.
India Allwood grew up wanting to be an actress.
