 For fans of the quirky, heartfelt fiction of Nick Hornby and Eleanor Brown comes a smart, wry, and poignant novel about reconciliation between fathers and daughters, between spouses; the deep ties between sisters; and the kind of forgiveness that can change a personâs life in unexpected and extraordinary ways.
The Rockwell women are nothing if not… Well, itâs complicated. When the sistersâEsme, Liv, and Ruâwere young, their eccentric mother, Augusta, silenced all talk of their absent father with the wild story that he was an international spy, always away on top-secret missions. But the consequences of such an unconventional upbringing are neither small nor subtle: Esme is navigating a failing marriage while trying to keep her precocious fifteen-year-old daughter from live-tweeting every detail. Liv finds herself in between relationships and rehabs, and Ru has run away from enough people and problems to earn her frequent flier miles. So when a hurricane hits the family home on the Jersey Shore, the Rockwells reunite to assess the damageâonly to discover that the storm has unearthed a long-buried box.
In a candid moment, Augusta reveals a startling secret that will blow the sistersâ concept of family to smithereensâand send them on an adventure to reconnect with a lost past… and one another.
