On the Map

Petal has already survived a bad breakup and bad press for her new small business, but everything is finally looking up. Until her ex calls her out of the blue and suggests they go out to dinner. He proposes that they cross as many items off their bucket list as they can before their baby is due. They make plans together to take hot-air balloon rides and attend concerts, but Petal is adamant that they are not back together. But her sister, Essie, doesn't believe her.

Essie sets her up on a blind date with Andrew who is everything Petal could need in a relationship. He's honest and dependable. The fact that he loves kids is just a bonus. As they start spending time together, Petal is faced with a decision: should go with the familiar and live with the betrayal or embrace something new and promising?

She doesn't have unlimited time to think about it. Every day brings her one step closer to the day that her daughter is born, and she must decide what role Jason and Andrew will play in her life and the life of her unborn child.

What will Petal do to pursue her happiness and where will she find it? It might not be in the places she has spent her whole life searching.
