WANTED: New dad, new life... and a really great taco.


Meet Maybelline "Maybe" Chestnut - Goth girl and daughter of Chessy Chestnut, owner of the number one (and only) charm school in Kissimmee, Florida. When Chessy refuses to tell Maybe who her father is -- or to protect her from her latest scuzzball fiance -- Maybe heads to California to find her biological dad, who doesn’t even know she exists.


Accompanied by her friends, budding filmmaker, Hollywood, and the irrepressible Thammasat Tantipinichwong Schneider (Ted for short), Maybe is ready to get on with her life. However, Los Angeles is nothing like she thought it would be. Maybe hadn’t counted on being homeless--and finding her father becomes nearly impossible.


But what Maybe discovers along the way is an aging movie star, an insecure model, and a famous photographer. Plus, a trio of terrifying toddlers, and Jessica, the proprietor of Benito’s Taco Truck #3.


Hilarious, heartbreaking and heartwarming, the characters in ABSOLUTELY MAYBE will stay with you long after you’ve finished the book.
