Labor of Love

Love finally connects with her mother—and finds her whole world turned upside down Big changes are afoot for Love Bukowski. Just when she meets her half-sister for the first time in Los Angeles, she gets a call from her long-lost mother and hops a plane back to Martha's Vineyard. Love is ready to embrace the new and exciting steps toward her senior year—but in Massachusetts, she finds more than she bargained for. Her mom is still not there, her boyfriend, Charlie, has changed from a down-to-earth guy into someone she's not sure she knows anymore, and her old flame Jacob is wearing his heart on his short-sleeved tee. She could use some advice, but her dad doesn't have all the answers. Arabella's in California, and her best buddy Chris has distractions of his own. Only one woman can clear things up—one who's never been a part of Love's life before.
