Items related to The Godmother
Nothing scares Tessa King more than the thought she will never have children. It doesn't matter how good her life is, and it is, it never feels good enough. She has four godchildren and dozens of friends, yet love eludes her. She knows how good a mother she could be, if only she had the chance. And then one terrible day she does, and Tessa learns firsthand that life on the other side of that white picket fence is more complicated than she ever could have imagined.
Heartwarming, funny, and genuine, The Godmother speaks to anyone who has wondered about the next step and reminds us that happily-ever-after is just the beginning of the story.

About the Author:
From Booklist:
Carrie Adams is the author of The Godmother, which is being adapted for film. She lives in London with her husband and three children.
Book groups and Anglophiles, take note: Adams has written a fast-paced, witty, and charming novel that will surprise readers with its depth and honesty. Tessa—zany, curly-haired, yoga-fit—is a highly successful attorney who has been forced by unfair circumstances to leave work. Unburdened for the first time in 20 years, she takes on a busy social schedule, complete with a racy sex life (descriptions are steamy). But what she excels at are her absorbing dedication to friends and her role as godmother—to Caspar, a brooding, smoking teen; Cora, a single friend's (often-sick) daughter; and recent additions, twins Bobby and Tommy. She is ready to help at each summon, but the more she gets caught up in the lives of others, the more she realizes that something is missing in her own life. Just when she feels out of sorts, her friends all hit crisis mode, and what starts as a light, relatively chipper read takes a turn to the bitingly realistic. Topped off with a made-for-movie ending, The Godmother is unpredictable and absorbing. Cook, Emily
