The BIGGEST Kiki book yet!

Introducing the Miss Fits, ordinary women who do extra-ordinary things!

Every holiday season, Kiki Lowenstein plans 12 days of classes, her Holiday Craft Extravaganza. And every year, it nearly kills her. 

This year is no exception. As the holiday season approaches, Kiki over-schedules herself and winds up running herself ragged. To make life even more stressful, she must fend off a stalker, a man determined to possess the object of his affection. But that's only one problem.

Kiki's ace full-time employee, Clancy, has HUGE decisions to make. How do you put aside your hurt and disappointment when you've been betrayed? Why should you upend your whole life because of another person's mistake? Is it selfish to think of yourself first? As Clancy ponders questions, Kiki stands on the sidelines, knowing this is not her choice to make. And yet...Kiki feels Clancy's agony.

Meanwhile, both of Kiki's older kids are having problems with teachers. Kiki wonders, "At what point does being an involved parent tip over into being a helicopter parent?" There's also a staff shortage that leaves Kiki in the lurch, both at home and at the store. Kiki might have found an answer to that dilemma when a mysterious woman applies for a job. Her name is Nona, and she claims to be an old friend of an old friend. But is she?

Nona seems too good to be true. Sadly, that might be the least of Kiki's problems with the woman. Because Nona isn't what she seems to be. Nona is a Miss Fit.

Her mood darkens further when she learns that her friend Bonnie's newborn infant has been stolen from a local hospital. Bonnie is too grief-stricken to help the authorities. Can Kiki pull herself together long enough to step in? Bonnie won't talk to anyone else.
>>>It's a lot to ask of Kiki, especially when the people around her don't recognize the depths of her despair. As with many post-partum sufferers, Kiki is too down to reach out and demand the help she needs. Her brave face is actually hurting her rather than helping. Since she's been typecast as "unsinkable," no one can see how badly she's suffering.
>>>With each hour that passes, the chances of finding Bonnie's baby alive grow slimmer. And Kiki’s funk grows deeper. She’s feeling more and more isolated.

Kiki and her husband must ask themselves the toughest question they'll ever have to face: Can we trust this person with our kids?

>>>The answer might say more about them than it does about their nanny, Brawny.

But how can you trust someone whose whole life has been a lie? And boy, oh, boy, do Brawny's secrets bring up trust issues for everyone under Kiki's roof. Especially for Kiki's sensitive, thirteen-year-old daughter. (Will she ever get over this betrayal?)
>>>It all starts when a totally forgettable woman is found shot dead in her car… and whose fault is that? Given the number of blended families today, can a step-parent ever catch a break? Was the murder a drive-by shooting gone wrong? Or an intentional, targeted murder?

What do we owe the children of other people? How much can we ever trust another person? When do we, as parents, know it's time to trust our kids to make important decisions? And which love should prevail: that of one spouse for the other, or a parent for a child?
