When Amara meets Trevor at a concert, she finally feels she has met someone who makes her happy and less lonely. But when Trevor wants to meet her mother, Amara discovers that her mother, Fiona, and Trevor have a shared past.

At 29, managing a bustling restaurant and caring for my cat was my reality. The days were filled with people ordering their favorites, and fussy customers complaining about less ice in their drinks or portion sizes.

And the nights were filled with playtime with Jasper, my cat.

This was my life until one weekend when I changed things up and took time off work to go to a concert with my girlfriends. That’s where I met Trevor. I’ve wanted to meet someone for the longest time because I had been single for a few years before meeting Trevor.

“You’re not getting younger, Amara,” my mother, Fiona, would say in typical mom-speak.
