She craves love and a family, despite it all, but she feels because she’s so picky about what she’s willing to accept, it will never happen. She takes a page from her friend, Giselle’s, book, and makes an appointment with Arranged Hearts, hoping they will be able to help her find the man she craves and deserves. I am not my father.
