Lainey Hollingsworth is the anchor in her home. In addition to managing her husbandΓ’β¬β’s writing career, she oversees the daily operations of a chaotic family: a rebellious teenage daughter, a stepson who blames her for ruining his life, and an adoptive father afflicted with AlzheimerΓ’β¬β’s.
Lainey always had a volatile relationship with her mother, who never revealed the truth about LaineyΓ’β¬β’s biological father, or the reason she fled Italy for England when Lainey was an infant.
As Lainey plans a trip to her motherΓ’β¬β’s homeland in search of answers, the familiar rhythm of life implodes when she receives a cryptic text message: Ask your husband about Julia. Suddenly caught between the ghosts of her past and a frighteningly unpredictable future, Lainey must face choices no woman would ever want to make.
