With an eight-year-old son struggling with ADHD and nowhere else to turn, soon-to-be-divorced mom Lacey answers a life-saving ad: "Seeking responsible single mom to join our household. Motherhood can be lonely and we support each other!"
When she arrives at Wildwood Lane she finds a ramshackle house with a welcoming bright yellow door and a wraparound porch with its cozy couch and scattered toys. And inside, three mothers who have forged their own rules for survival.
As Lacey battles her conspiracy-theorist ex-husband for custody while juggling a new, make-or-break job, she discovers these women offer more than shared childcare, communal dinners and late nights bonding over wine after the kids' bedtime. They're building something revolutionary: a chosen family where women don't just survive-they thrive. But when her enigmatic housemate comes up with a risky plan which could secure her financially and protect her son's future, she faces an impossible choice: How far will she go to protect the family she's found?
A fierce, tender novel about how sometimes women have to break the rules to build the life they really want. Perfect for readers who loved Big Little Lies and All They Need to Know.
