  In this witty and heartfelt debut, one woman’s unconventional journey to
  motherhood means learning to embrace the unexpected  
  Even the prickliest cactus has its flower...
  
  
  For Susan Green, messy emotions don’t fit into the equation of her perfectly
  ordered life. She has a flat that is ideal for one, a job that suits her
  passion for logic and an “interpersonal arrangement” that provides cultural
  and other, more intimate, benefits. But suddenly confronted with the loss of
  her mother and the news that she is about to become a mother herself, Susan’s
  greatest fear is realized. She is losing control.
  
  
  When she learns that her mother’s will inexplicably favors her indolent
  brother, Edward, Susan’s already dismantled world is sent flying into a
  tailspin. As Susan’s due date draws near and her family problems become
  increasingly difficult to ignore, Susan finds help and self-discovery in the
  most unlikely of places.
