In an emotionally rich and captivating new novel,
New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick
reunites three sisters whose deep bond is rooted in an
unconventional past.
Every child prodigy grows up eventually. For the Promise
sisters, escaping their mother’s narcissism and the
notoriety that came with her bestselling book hasn’t been
easy. Minerva Promise claimed that her three “test tube”
daughters—gifted pianist Joanie, artistic Meg, and
storyteller Avery—were engineered and molded to be geniuses.
In adulthood, their modest lives fall far short of her grand
ambitions. But now, twenty years after the book’s release,
she hopes to redeem herself by taking part in a new
documentary.
Meg, who hasn’t picked up a paintbrush in years,
adamantly refuses to participate, until a car accident
leaves her with crushing medical bills. While she
recuperates in Seattle, the three sisters reluctantly meet
with filmmaker Hal Seeger, another former prodigy. Like
them, he’s familiar with the weight of failed potential. But
as he digs deeper, he uncovers secrets they’ve hidden from
each other—and a revelation that will challenge their
beliefs, even as it spurs them to forge their own
extraordinary lives at last.
