When a girl with a cockscomb of pink hair, wearing a red balloon skirt and army boots, drops off a surprise "gift" during Bradley and Janie's wedding, a saga of chaotic hilarity is set in motion. Who is the baby cooing beneath the folds of tissue paper in the Bloomingdale's bag? Will the CEO of an internationally successful pet products corporation take him in? What about Maxine, from the famous advice column "Dear Maxine," who is a dating disaster? Perhaps there had been a mistake at the sperm bank where the receptionist plays her own version of Sex in the City. Maybe the father of the "groom" at a Yorkshire terrier wedding will provide a haven for this bundle in a bag. Or will the hard-hearted social worker take the baby away from them all?

Seeking rejuvenation and rest, six very different people converge at a lush Caribbean spa on the island of St. Christoph and find more than they had bargained for: mystery, intrigue, and romance. Successful and single journalist Joyce Redmond, who is on assignment to root out the nitty gritty on the other guests, has been so busy working on her career that she has forgotten to work on her life. Cliff Eastman, the romantic over-the-hill movie star and heartthrob, is watching his career fade through the bottom of a bottle. Cathy Stewart, the overweight, frustrated housewife, who cringes each time her husband calls her his "big mama," is intent on finding a way to shed that name. Maxine Kraft, married for twenty-five years needs only a little more courage to face the world as a single woman. Finally, there is Belle Taylor and her famous teen idol daughter, Regina, who both need to find a way to stop hating each other. Fortunately, the Spa at St. Christoph has something for everyone. Yet, behind the luxurious façade of this retreat awaits a mystery for which they had not bargained.
