The Accidental Mother

My husband read the title and immediately guessed the plot of this book, so I guess that tells you a little about the predictability of books I read...  :)  In any case, the accidental mother here is an event planner (Sophie) for wealthy corporations and becomes the caretaker for two girls (Bella and Izzy) who lost their mother (Carrie) in a car accident.  Carrie and Sophie used to be best friends and Carrie named Sophie the guardian of her children in her will.  Since then, Carrie and Sophie have drifted apart and haven't really been in contact.  What will Sophie do?!  :)  As you can imagine, Sophie first views the two girls as rather a burden, interfering with her career goals.  Time passes, and the bond between Sophie and the girls strengthens.  A wrench is thrown into the gears when the girls' father, who had not been in the picture, is found.  I think Coleman does a good job dealing with the childrens' perspectives on losing their mother at such a young age as well as the not-so-smooth transition into a new mother-daughter relationship.
