Four women in Nottingham still answer calls from the children they helped raise. Officially, none has to show up. In practice, somebody needs a lift to graduation, a hand carrying a sofa, the birthday cake nobody else remembers, or another try at the family photograph. Each woman is also falling in love, and wants a partner who can say her place in this family out loud.
Elaine gets a seat at her stepdaughter’s graduation and a second invitation to the girl’s wedding. She asks Art to come along so she won’t be mistaken for the florist. He turns up wearing the corsage she accidentally left on seat twelve. The free companion novella is The Mum on the Second Form.
A name on a form gives the friends their first conversation. The subsequent romances move from a public invitation to a private home, a birthday tradition and a new definition of a family portrait.
The direction is set. The books are written after you order.
Nancy’s adult stepson puts her down as his emergency contact. The second form asks for their relationship. Herb has been helping her with the answers nobody else thinks to ask about, including who takes care of Nancy when the phone rings.

Helping her grown stepdaughter move takes Melanie all weekend. Rob shows up with two mugs, though they have a robust arrangement against leaving personal belongings in each other’s houses. He would quite like to renegotiate that bit.
Donna’s former stepson still wants the old birthday tin at thirty. Marcy has baked beside her for six birthdays, and this year she would like to put both names on the lid. Donna is suddenly very busy counting candles.
Deb has taken every family photograph since her stepdaughter was five. She appears in almost none of them. Lawrence offers to hold the camera at a reunion. The place he leaves beside himself in the picture feels an awful lot like a proposal.
The first coffee gathering gives Book 1’s heroine the courage to accept a graduation ticket in her own name.
