Auntie Mom: A Single Woman's Unexpected Adventure Into Motherhood

When her twenty-nine year old sister suffered a stroke, L.A. businesswoman Laura Maher returned home to Boston. During the year her sister spent in recovery, Maher moved her eight-year-old nephew and six year old niece, to California. Because her fianc? did not want to "raise someone else's kids", her relationship with him ended, and as a result, she did not have a home for her or the kids to live in. While on a road trip, they met a wealthy couple who invited them to live on their estate in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Auntie Mom is an inspiring true story of a single woman's yearlong adventure into motherhood. Maher weaves a rich tapestry of candid tales that speak to the heart of the age-old struggle every woman faces in her role as parent, as well as their search for self-identity. It's a story of faith, and family, and what can happen to any of us when faced with the unexpected challenges life throws us, and the transformation that often occurs along the way.
