A deeply moving debut novel about a coupleâ€™s struggle to love and accept their disabled child and keep their family together.,Anna is a planner. So when she discovers sheâ€™s pregnant, she prepares for a perfect new life in ProvenÃ§e, France, with her perfect new baby-to-be. Annaâ€™s partner, the easy-going Tobias, shouldnâ€™t have too much difficulty tagging alongâ€”after all, heâ€™s a musician who rarely starts his day before noon. But all that changes when their baby is born severely disabled.,Anna, Tobias, and their daughter, Freya, end up in a rickety, rodent-infested farmhouse in a remote town in Franceâ€”far from the mansion in ProvenÃ§e they had imagined. Little do they know that this is the beginning of what will become an incredible journey of the heartâ€”one during which they learn there really is no such thing as a mouse-proof kitchen. Life is messy, and itâ€™s the messy bits that make it count.
