Challenged by her sister’s dare to meet fifty men in ninety days, Rachel rises to the occasion.

Take the humorous and timely rollercoaster ride as Rachel Yardley races against her biological clock to find Mr. Right (and possibly conceive a child). Can this woman who feels “past her prime” find true love in a city where the odds are against her!
