English Summary/英文概要： Cornelia is a single thirtysomething who lives her life like a series of movie moments. She’s a manager of a cafe because she hasn’t figured out anything better to do. Her ideal man is Cary Grant. And just when she thinks he’ll never show up, he does, in the form of Martin Grace. What she doesn’t know is that Martin, with his cool charm and debonair demeanor, has a daughter, Clare. And she never would have known that except that Martin, in a state of panic, shows up with the girl at the cafe after her mother had a breakdown and left Clare to fend for herself. Estranged from his daughter for years, Martin doesn’t know what to do with her. Both women’s stories are told in alternating chapters, Cornelia’s in first person, Clare’s in third. This is a first novel with some wonderful and heartbreaking moments scattered throughout, along with some moments that are purely contrived for the forward movement of the plot. Overall, it is a sweet story about knowing what you love and why. Carolyn Kubisz Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
