Confronted with a racing biological clock when she doesn't even know if she wants kids.

Trying to act normal when her heart is smashed into a million pieces.

Ten times smarter than the people she's working for.

Priced out of the housing market in the place she grew up.

Stuck in a situationship when all she wants is the love of her life back . . .

Bigger. Not better. Older. Not wiser. Queenie Jenkins is working on it.
