When Ivy's best friend runs away, she leaves behind her one-month-old baby and a letter giving Ivy custody of her son. Ivy goes against her parent's wishes and raises Milo as her own. Four years later, with her new up and running bakery, office desk job, and a son who's very affectionate, Ivy is simply a single mom juggling the life of responsibility. Her precise coordinated lifestyle is suddenly disturbed when she finds a lost girl who is the niece of her soon-to-be boss. Did I mention handsome?
Now, Ivy must learn how to work out her abandonment issues before she ends up pushing everyone away.
This is a journey of forgiving and letting go of the past. Learning how to love yourself again, like riding a bike after a long hiatus. It may take a while and feel foolish but in the end, it's breathtaking.
"I'm big on the family because my own family left me. How can I love someone and expect them to love me back when my own parents couldn't. Who's to say you won't leave me too? I don't want to be alone."
