The Accidental Mother by Rowan Coleman
4.0
What do you do when in an instant your life is turned inside out?
That is the question Sophie Mills has to face when, on a regular work day she finds out that her best friend since childhood, Carrie, has died and she is left to take care of her two girls Bella & Izzy indefinitely. In an instant Sophie has to take leave of her job and figure out how to make a home, however temporary for these girls. Workaholic Sophie is certainly not up for the task. She and her best friend Carrie had not spoken for ages before her death and Sophie, loath to admit it as she may be, feels no connection to her godchildren. In fact the only connections Sophie does have is with her gay assistant Cal and her not-so-friendly cat Airtimis.
Now with very little help from a kindly but overworked social worker Tess, Sophie has to figure out how to keep up with her job, help these girls who have been ripped from the only life and parent they know, all the while trying to find the father that abandoned them years ago.
Despite the many typos, as other reviewers have pointed out `THE ACCIDENTAL MOTHER' is a heartwarming story that may be a bit predictable at times but will still satisfy the reader to the end.
