Penny came up with some fiction of her own when her daughter was born and Lucy has grown up believing she's the result of an affair her mother had with a married man who abandoned her when she told him about the baby. The author's a rich and famous novelist now, although he has no idea he's a father and that's just the way Penny wants it to stay.

And now the Universe has thrown something else into the mix: at the age of eighty-two, Penny's father is about to marry again but there's no way she's going to let him get hitched to some gold-digging trollop called Marigold...
