Books like Mr. Family by Margot Early


Kal Johnson, a grieving widower with a young daughter, realizes he cannot provide the maternal presence his child needs. He advertises for a woman willing to enter a celibate marriage and become stepmother, hoping to share the upbringing of his daughter. Erika Blade, who is afraid of love and intimacy, sees the ad and reacts, believing the concept of a celibate marriage might fit her desire to have children without traditional relationships. Her letter catches Kal's attention, and he discovers that he is not only attracted to her but also finds hope for a future family. Their unlikely connection illustrates the complexities of love, family, and unconventional paths to parenthood, as Kal and Erika navigate their reservations and the possibility of building a new family unit.
