UNEXPECTEDLY, MILO: A synopsis

Since I posted about the sale of my next book, I've received several requests for a synopsis of the book, from booksellers, friends, relatives and a few complete strangers. 

I adore my agent, Taryn, for many reasons, including her honesty, her unwavering support, her extensive expertise, and her friendship, but I also love the way that she can summarize my books.  When asked to do so myself, I sound like a blithering idiot, unable to condense 100,000 words into a couple meaningful paragraphs.
