Loretta has her life under control. She's chasing a big promotion, she's marrying the perfect man and she has a flawless five-year plan.
This plan does not include children.
But when a complete stranger asks her to watch her six-year-old daughter in an airport and never returns, both their lives will be changed forever.
A little human in fairy wings and sparkly cowgirl boots will turn Loretta's world upside down and maybe, just maybe, show her exactly what she's missing.
