Milo has two great moms, but he's never known what it's like to have a dad. When Milo's doctor suggests asking his biological father to undergo genetic testing to shed some light on Milo's extreme allergies, he realizes this is a golden opportunity to find the man he's always wondered about. Hollis's mom Leigh hasn't been the same since her other mom, Pam, passed away seven years ago. But suddenly, Leigh seems happy—giddy, even—by the thought of reconnecting with Hollis's half-brother Milo. Hollis and Milo were conceived using the same sperm donor. They met once, years ago, before Pam died. Now Milo has reached out to Hollis to help him find their donor. Along the way, they locate three other donor siblings, and they discover the true meaning of the other F-word: family.

Natasha Friend
Hi! I’m Natasha. I became a writer in great thanks to my parents, who raised me in a house without a TV. At the time, I thought this was the worst form of torture. Now I understand the method to their madness: they wanted me to be a reader. I spent much of my childhood in the Hamilton Public Library in upstate New York, where I found my mecca, the young-adult section, and my idol, Judy Blume. Not long after discovering Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret, I began dictating stories to my father, who typed them up on his 1930’s Remington typewriter. Most involved rainbows, unicorns, and poor orphan girls discovering treasure. I knew I was supposed to be a real writer in seventh grade, when a sweet boy wrote me a love poem and I felt compelled to correct it for syntax and rhyme scheme. (No, I did not grade it, and I did not hand it back to him. I kept it, and I treasure it still.) Because my spiritual age is 13, I was a middle-school teacher for a while. Then I was a camp director. I decided to give full-time writing a shot after I got married because I knew I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. My first book, Perfect, was published right after my first baby arrived. I wrote a second book. I had another baby. Wrote two more books, had another baby. Now, three kids and seven books later, I feel like I’m just hitting my stride. I love being a writing mom. When I’m not working on my latest book, I’m building forts and making chocolate-chip pancakes. Often, I am wearing a silly hat. Sometimes a press-on mustache. I sing a lot. I read voraciously. I eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches for breakfast. I like a clean house, but I am a horrible housekeeper. I would rather be having a spontaneous talent show in my dirty kitchen. Or writing another book. xo, NF
