Better With You Here, by Gwendolyn Zepeda, is about a single mum who's facing a custody battle. The synopsis says: "Single mom Natasha Davila has done a good job holding things together. Her divorce didn't leave her with much, but she has her kids and they are her world. Only now, she's facing a problem she never predicted: Her ex-husband is re-marrying, expecting a new baby and - worst of all - suing Natasha for full custody of their two children. Desperate to save her family, she turns to her neighbours - fellow single moms facing their own drama. Sharing their laughter and their tears, these near strangers help Natasha find a strength she never knew she had. And when her ex ups the ante and exposes some disturbing news about Natasha's new friends, she'll need that strength more than ever."
