Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Wilson’sambition alone is exciting. . . . [His] writing has a Houdini-like perfection,wherein no matter how grim the variables, each lovely sentence manages toescape with all its parts intact.” —BostonGlobeThe eagerly-anticipated follow-upto the New York Times bestseller The Family Fang—a warm-heartedand moving story about a young woman making a family on her own terms.When Isabelle Poole meets Dr.Preston Grind, she’s fresh out of high school, pregnant with her art teacher'sbaby, and totally on her own. Izzy knows she can be a good mother but withoutany money or relatives to help, she’s left searching.Dr. Grind, an awkwardly charming child psychologist, has spent his lifestudying family, even after tragedy struck his own.  Now, with the help ofan eccentric billionaire, he has the chance to create a “perfect littleworld”—to study what would happen when ten children are raised collectively,without knowing who their biological parents are.  He calls it TheInfinite Family Project and he wants Izzy and her son to join.This attempt at a utopian ideal starts off promising, but soon the gentleequilibrium among the families disintegrates: unspoken resentments between thecouples begin to fester; the project's funding becomes tenuous; and Izzy’sgrowing feelings for Dr. Grind make her question her participation in thisstrange experiment in the first place.Written with the same compassion and charm that won over legions of readerswith The Family Fang,Kevin Wilson shows us with grace and humor that the best families are the oneswe make for ourselves.
