Dear Reader,
I have found that sometimes life is stranger than fiction. When I was coming up with a premise for this story, I thought of some family friends who had weathered a recent tragedy. Similar to Luna in The Baby Favor, two children found themselves unexpectedly orphaned and were adopted by a loving couple related to their parents. This couple was very young, newly married, and I was so impressed by how they tackled the challenge of raising these boys. Not everyone would be willing to reorganize their whole life and give up the honeymoon phase of their marriage to take in children the way they did. It might be hard to read a book like this and believe it could happen in real life, but the world is filled with both unimaginable sadness and incredible kindness. People like this inspire me to be a better person and I was excited to write the story of a couple stepping up for the sake of a child, albeit under different circumstances.
