A Globe and Mail Best Book of the Year, and longlisted for the Giller Prize, Katrina Onstad's second novel is an emotionally riveting exploration of what happens in the marriage of an urban professional couple when they suddenly and unexpectedly become the parents of a toddler. 

"Tenderly observed and elegantly drawn," (Vincent Lam) the vivid, utterly believable characters in this perceptive and poignant novel experience the challenges and joys of modern love in all its many permutations.

After a car accident leaves their friend Marcus dead and his wife Sarah in a coma, Ana and James are shocked to discover that they are the legal guardians of a 2½-year-old. Finn's crash-landing in their lives throws into high relief deeply rooted, and sometimes long-hidden, truths about themselves, both individually and as a couple. Ultimately, they must face a question that remains virtually taboo in contemporary life: Can everyone be a parent?
