I love Peri – when I’m feeling the single mom blues, I go read her single mom blues and remember that I’m not the only single mom with a deadbeat ex and daughters. Ok, Peri has a daughter…but she has more guinea pigs, so I figure we’re about even. Children can be quiet, piggies on the other hand – not so much. Then again – all three girls have been making noise about dating lately… (ok, Care was just saying she’d only ever, EVER, date David Tennant. She’s 12, I …

Prologue:
His eyes followed her as she moved across the park. He’d noticed before that she did not use the concrete paths that crisscrossed the green expanse between the trees – she always walked on the grass, with her sandals in her hand. Barefoot, she’d make her way from the office building on the next block, to the park, where she’d sit on a bench near the pond and eat her lunch.
