Life is meant to be savored, but that’s challenging with no family members, limited potential clients and a past you’d rather not discuss. Still, Callie Smith doesn’t know how to feel when she discovers she’s a sibling and a sister-Malcolm, who was raised with affection, wealth and privilege, and Keira, a streetwise twelve-year-old. Callie doesn’t love being alone, but at least it’s safe. Despite her trepidation, she movements into the grand house with her siblings and grandfather for the shores of Lake about WHENEVER WE Found Home Washington, hoping just maybe this will be the start of a whole new life.

But beginning over could be messy. Callie and Keira participate in each other, however, not using their posh fresh lifestyle, departing Malcolm feeling like the odd guy out in his own home. He was smart enough to carefully turn a sleepy Seattle mail-order meals catalog into an internet gourmet powerhouse, however he can’t work out how to help his new sisters feel secure. Becoming a family will take tolerance, humor, a little bit of wine and a lot of love. But like isn’t Malcolm’s strong suit…until a lovely barista teaches him an open up heart, like the family table, can constantly make space for more.

Within this emotional, funny and heartfelt story, Susan Mallery masterfully explores this is of a modern family-blended by surprise, not by choice-and how those complicated relationships can truly add unexpected richness to life.
