Ashley has a tragic past that includes a missing mother, a dead father, and a series of foster homes. It's in one of these homes where she meets Matt, a broken young man. The two forge a strong brother\/sister bond that lasts well into adulthood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAshley spends her days painting, working in a garden supply shop and puttering in her yard. It helps her maintain the façade of a being a well-rounded woman while she hunts for a decent sperm donor. When men disappoint her, they disappear with the help of her foster brother and her best friend, a chatty Siamese cat named Dudley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA missing person's case puts Ashley at the center of the investigation. Now she's forced to hunt further afield. As the case drags on, the body count rises. The detective watching her could be the perfect baby-daddy. But first, she has to seduce him.
