Ruthie is finally getting used to the new normal: her parents' divorce, having a stepdad and (annoying) stepbrothers and trying not to think too much about before.
When her mom starts feeling sick, Ruthie’s relieved it’s nothing serious…until her mom tells her she’s pregnant again. Their family suffered a loss three years ago and it was devastating. How could her mom risk that again?
At least Ruthie has her best friend and her dog to help comfort her, as well as her favorite book series that always cheers her up: The Unicorns of Faravelle Forest. When Ruthie unexpectedly meets Ally, an older woman in the park where she takes her dog to play, she learns Ally is grieving a loss too, and the two develop an unlikely friendship. Though the journey is never smooth, Ruthie eventually realizes there’s comfort to be found in expressing your feelings and cherishing the memory of those you've loved.
