Lucy Von Alstyne sends fictitious letters to her friend Alicia, pretending to be the father of Alicia’s twins. When the two mothers and their five children set off on a journey to find him, facing along the way the complications of living in poverty and raising fatherless children, Lucy discovers this just may be the summer of her amazing luck.
