Do I have a child? Julia DeSmit knew she would face the question eventually, but she didnt expect it now. At twenty-four, she is finally content with the way her life has unfolded. A single mother to her son and young brother, she works at the local grocery store while chipping away at a two-year degree. All her free time is spent with her unorthodox familyher boys, her grandmother, and her boyfriend of five years. Its not perfect, but Julia is happier than ever. So when she receives the cryptic e-mail from her sons father, Julias world is turned upside down. She hasnt heard from Parker since he left her in a college parking lot nearly six years ago. But one look at her sonthe spitting image of his fatheris enough to convince her that, for better or worse, Parker is a part of their story. Faced with this new reality and an unexpected tragedy, Julia begins a tightrope walk between what was and what is, what she hopes for and what will be.
