Eris is 35 years old, discombobulated, and convinced she creates chaos everywhere she goes. She's spent her life running and hiding from people for fear of wreaking havoc in their lives. And when her estranged father dies and she sees there is no reconciling with her mother, Eris decides she'll create her own family through anonymous donor insemination. And when she discovers the Unite Site, where donors, recipients, and offspring have an opportunity to connect, she hatches a scheme to bring the donor into her self-created family. The only problem is that she's not pregnant yet. And, unbeknownst to her, the donor isn't exactly who he says he is. And when Eris' path stumbles into the very pregnant teenage Mandi, she's thrown into relationships she is wholly unprepared to navigate, and is forced to question the beliefs about herself that have isolated her for so long. Meanwhile, Rand has recently lost the love of his life; his husband. His grief is all but consuming him. So when he discovers his beloved Stewart had donated his sperm to a cryobank and that he has a child out there in the world, Rand and his tight group of friends are determined to do whatever it takes to connect with this last piece of their lost loved one. Will Eris create her new family and heal from a lifetime of loneliness? Will Rand and his friends make the coveted connection with Stewart's offspring? How will they collide when their machinations and subterfuge finally catch up with them? Stars In Sticks is an examination of the stories we tell ourselves to justify our journeys. It's an exploration into what defines a family. And it's a dark-comedic caper following the scheming of lost and grieving souls as they desperately try to fill their emptiness and make themselves whole.
