Wilson’s
ambition alone is exciting. . . . [His] writing has a Houdini-like perfection,
wherein no matter how grim the variables, each lovely sentence manages to
escape with all its parts intact.” —Boston

The eagerly-anticipated follow-up
to the New York Times bestseller The Family Fang—a warm-hearted
and moving story about a young woman making a family on her own terms.

When Isabelle Poole meets Dr.
Preston Grind, she’s fresh out of high school, pregnant with her art teacher's
baby, and totally on her own. Izzy knows she can be a good mother but without
any money or relatives to help, she’s left searching.

Dr. Grind, an awkwardly charming child psychologist, has spent his life
studying family, even after tragedy struck his own.  Now, with the help of
an eccentric billionaire, he has the chance to create a “perfect little
world”—to study what would happen when ten children are raised collectively,
without knowing who their biological parents are.  He calls it The
Infinite Family Project and he wants Izzy and her son to join.

This attempt at a utopian ideal starts off promising, but soon the gentle
equilibrium among the families disintegrates: unspoken resentments between the
couples begin to fester; the project's funding becomes tenuous; and Izzy’s
growing feelings for Dr. Grind make her question her participation in this
strange experiment in the first place.

Written with the same compassion and charm that won over legions of readers
with The Family Fang,
Kevin Wilson shows us with grace and humor that the best families are the ones
we make for ourselves.
