Fifteen years after graduation, best friends Jay, Franny, Emerson, and Stevie meet at their college reunion. Life has taken each of them in different directions — Jay is a married man with a baby on the way while Franny yearns for a child as she searches for love in all the wrong places. Divorced single mom Emerson is drawn to a man who challenges everything she's come to believe about finding a once-in-a-lifetime love. And Stevie's life has recently been rocked by a shocking revelation — the answer to a family secret that will shatter everything she believes about herself.
Now the bond between the foursome takes a surprising twist, one that changes how each feels about family and friendship. One thing is certain: They will all find their heart's desires in the last place they imagine — as they discover that family is less about blood ties than the warm embrace of ones who accept them as they are.
"Eileen Goudge writes like a house on fire, creating characters you come to love and hate to leave," praises Nora Roberts — and nowhere do Goudge's bestselling storytelling talents shine brighter than in Immediate Family.
