_________________________
Stella's life hasn't quite gone to plan. She imagined that, at forty, she'd be settled with a supportive husband, two kids and a dog. Instead, she's single and living at home with her mum, Bonnie, and grandmother, Florence. She passes the evenings in her childhood bedroom, obsessively searching for the perfect sperm donor.
Unbeknownst to Stella is that Bonnie and Florence both also had difficult journeys to motherhood. And now that they're writing down their stories for Stella's unborn child, the truth about their family is becoming harder to conceal. And while you can't choose your family, you can choose what you tell them...
