Abstract: "Meg Krantz is searching for a lot in her life, but not for a child. She has never known what kind of mother she'd be, selfless or purely acquisitive, and she hasn't been particularly eager to find out. Enter 4 1/2-year-old Kimble Toffler. Soon to be orphaned, Kimble comes into Meg's life through Meg's volunteer work. Before long Meg wonders if, and then how, she can forge a future with this child to whom she's grown so attached. The women in her life - her mother, the child's grandmother, two former lovers, and her therapist - each offer a different perspective on motherhood as they are drawn into Meg's efforts to gain custody of Kimble.
