Jane Howe is 37, single, with a good job. She suddenly hears her biological clock booming the hour, and after much thought, decides adopting a baby girl from China is the way to go for her. The book chronicles this process and also focuses on relationships and friendship and family. Just a fun book with lots of laugh-out-loud moments. ( )

A single New York woman in her late 30s thinks about having a child, and decides to adopt a girl from China... Her life is never the same again.

Her gay best friend provides comic relief, her (unfortunately married) dream guy provides heartache, her Irish-American parents give unsolicited advice, Jane is surrounded by stock characters with a twist. Then she meets other single women who have decided that adoption is for them and together, they start the most unpredictable and transforming journey of their lives.

I loved this book, can't wait for the next one (WOMEN IN HATS) from this writer! ( )
