Gemma Jordan likes being in control. A history teacher, she likes numbers and lists. She can recite the exact date that anything happened, ever–from kings and queens to Kylie Minogue singles. She goes for long runs and knows precisely how many steps she will take. She shops for one and knows exactly what she will buy and how much it will cost. She joins online dating sites but never goes on a date.
After all, she knows perfectly well how one moment can change your life forever. That’s why, for two decades, she’s lived life by the rulebook. But this year, everything is different. The beloved daughter she gave up for adoption all those years ago is about to turn eighteen–and that means, there’s a chance of being found. For the first time in her life, Gemma can no longer run from her secrets. And she begins to realize that when everything is falling apart, love can be found in the unlikeliest of places. Because sometimes your true family is the one you pick for yourself . . .
