About this listen

Loretta has life under control. She's good at avoiding things that make her uncomfortable, she's chasing a big promotion at work, and she’s marrying a man whose five-year plan aligns perfectly with her own. Children do not come into the mix. This all changes, however, when a stranger in an airport asks Loretta to keep an eye on her sleeping six-year-old, Phoebe.

The stranger never comes back. Loretta knows that Phoebe's life will change forever from that moment. But so will hers. This strange little person in fairy wings will turn Loretta’s world upside down and cause her to question everything she knows about herself.
