I usually really enjoy CM
I usually really enjoy CM books, her books seem to avoid my personal ick factors. I have a feeling I might have read this one though, or skimmed it thoroughly when deciding if I wanted to buy. The character names and plot ring a bell.
Hi Janet!
Again - I didn't write very good reviews last night. I was hot and tired!
This may help you trigger your memory. Cat lived with another woman named Kate and Kate's grandmother, Kitty. (I think the names could have been more different - it got confusing sometimes as to who was who) Kitty was a retired opera singer, living quitely in the country where she won't be bothered by the paparzzi.
Caleb's little boy at first doesn't speak after being involved in a serious accident. Cat and Kate run a daycare in the grandmother's house. Oh and they have an artist friend, Toby who quite comical and later becomes a love interest of Kates. In the beginning of the book, Toby magnanimously offers to sleep with Cat, so the villagers won't think she and Kate are lesbians. Such a sacrifice! It was so funny!

It does sound familiar...
It does sound familiar... but honestly I'm such a horrible peeker, I skim books so thoroughly before reading them... that I can't tell the difference some days between what I read cover to cover and what i skimmed at the bookstore.
We'll see. I end up rereading books years down the line when I come across them again and remember them fondly anyway.
