About This Book
Lena just wanted one night to herself — away from the chaos of a crumbling brownstone, seven kids, three best friends, a broody billionaire, and what appears to be a family of resident raccoons. What she got instead was a reckless night with a charming baseball player and a positive pregnancy test that rewrites every plan she thought she had. Jenni Bara's Mother Maker is a story about the life that happens when you stop making plans — funny, tender, and unexpectedly moving in the way it explores what it means to open yourself to love when you've already convinced yourself you don't need it.
What sets this book apart is Bara's gift for comic timing balanced against genuine emotional stakes. The banter crackles, the ensemble cast earns its page time, and the romance never feels rushed into warmth it hasn't built. Readers who loved the first Momcoms installment will find the world deepened here — but Mother Maker stands on its own as a satisfying blend of sharp wit and sincerity, the kind of book that sneaks up on you with its heart right when you're too busy laughing to see it coming.
