Feb the-halcyon-project-1

The Halcyon program has only grown in respect and mystique over their now fifteen years of matchmaking. When I went through it six years ago, they were still boasting 100% success of all the participants. Single, usually hopeless, candidates leave the program as part of a couple. The foolproof methods Halcyon uses to guarantee a soulmate comes from a blend of technology, biology, psychology, and, of course, sex. Naturally, with its high price tag, extensive, invasive testing, and painstaking process, only serious participants make it through, and everyone found success. Until us.

Sued for wrongful pregnancy!?

Senior Chief Thomas Perkins comes home from his latest mission, expecting to be hailed as his family’s weekend warrior.

Instead, his wife tosses him legal papers as she walks out the door.

She’s suing him for wrongful pregnancy and breach of contract? The last time they were together, he’d promised to pull out. Now she’s pregnant with their six child.

Mary Jane Perkins had been looking forward to entering the ‘me years’ chapter of her life now that all of her children were finally in school full time. The proverbial shop was supposed to be close, giving her time to pursue her own endeavors. Now it was all going down in a hail of renewed baby care.

Beleaguered, she goes home to Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard to lick her wounds, but immediately finds herself immersed in family history that steeps her true spirit and rejuvenates her soul. Just when she starts to rediscover herself in the one place where she is just Maisey, Thomas arrives begging her to come home.

Can Mary Jane go back to her chaotic family life and Boston elite responsibilities of being Mrs. Thomas Perkins III?

Pregnancy hormones have made things between her and Thomas hotter than ever, but her time away has renewed her perspective on what it means to be herself, and even though Martha’s Vineyard is the place where she and Thomas’s relationship began, does she want to return to the life they once had.

Travel to the beautifully historic and culturally diverse Martha’s Vineyard with Thomas and Mary Jane.
