A lot of people don't realize Mick Jagger has a younger
brother, who also likes to sing. Veteran women's fiction
writer Lauren Baratz-Logsted answers the question of what
such an existence would be like in an original heartfelt
novel about what it means to be family.
Veteran
women's fiction writer Lauren Baratz-Logsted presents the
moving story of a family disrupted by fame, perfect for fans
of Elin Hilderbrand and Nancy Thayer.
Ever wonder
what it must be like to be the younger sibling of someone so
popular, princes and presidents are excited to meet him?
Mona knows. Or thinks she does. Mona is married to Jack,
younger brother to Denny Springer, lead singer for The
Greatest Rock-and-Roll Band in the World. Jack happens to
sing too, of course, not that anyone in the world notices
very much. After Denny attends the family Easter dinner in
London for the first time in decades, Mona invites Denny to
join her and her family for the summer at a rental house in
coastal Connecticut. She tells Denny it'll be a chance for
him to finally bond with Jack, from whom Denny has been
estranged for twenty years. Denny initially laughs at the
idea…but then shows up on their doorstep.
As the
summer progresses, though, questions arise: Did Denny really
have a change of heart and a sudden commitment to family? Or
is he hiding something? More importantly, why did Mona
invite him in the first place? Most importantly of all, how
well do we ever really know anybody?
