As a child, Maggie Faraday grew up in a lively, unconventional household with her young mother, four very different aunts, and eccentric grandfather. With her mother often away, her aunts took turns looking after herβuntil, just weeks before Maggieβs sixth birthday, a shocking event changed everything. Twenty years later, Maggie is living alone in New York City when she receives a surprise visit from her grandfather Leo, who brings a revelation and a proposition: Heβs preparing a special gift for his daughters and needs Maggieβs help. When the Faradays gather from all parts of the world to celebrate Christmas in Julyβa longstanding traditionβMaggie uncovers unexpected family history and learns that the women she thought she knew so intimately all have something to hide.
