Some people can't wait to have babies. They're ready for it--with their perfect lives and their pregnancy glow...

Poppy Adams doesn't have a perfect life, and she wasn't ready for the positive test. An unexpected baby--Poppy's unexpected baby--won't exactly have her family doing cartwheels. But she's making the right choice.

Right?

Poppy's totally got this. She just needs a little encouragement, and a knitting group is the perfect place to start. Baby blankets, booties, tiny little hats--small steps toward her new life. But she feels like she's already dropped a stitch when she discovers the knitting group is led by the charismatic Rhiannon.

It's not exactly a great time to meet the woman who might just be the love of her life. While the group easily shuffles around to make room for Poppy, it's not so easy fitting her life and Rhiannon's together. With the weeks counting down until her baby arrives, Poppy's going to have to decide for herself what truly makes a family.
