Summary
After Nancy's father dies, she is faced with two life-changing revelations.
One: She has a half-brother she knew nothing about.
Two: She's expecting a baby.
Her brother is clearly the result of an affair, and she's having the baby with a man who, despite being in a relationship with Nancy for over two years, shows absolutely no signs of commitment. He's not even in the same country as her right now.
Nancy's half-sister Rita is furious with their father and wants nothing to do with their new-found brother. But Nancy is intrigued... In a tumult of grief, bewilderment, fear and hope, she is eager to meet Oliver and find the answer to what really makes a family.
And in a few months' time, who is going to step up and help her bring up a baby?
