In this compelling and poignant debut novel, a woman skilled at caring for animals must learn to mend the broken relationships in her family.Γ’β¬Β¦ For veterinarian Geneva Novak, animals can be easier to understand than people. TheyΓ’β¬β’re also easier to forgive. But when her mother, Helen, is injured in a vodka-fueled accident, itΓ’β¬β’s up to Geneva to give her the care she needs. Since her teens, Geneva has kept her self-destructive mother at armΓ’β¬β’s length. Now, with two slippery teenagers of her own at home, the last thing she wants is to add Helen to the mix. But GenevaΓ’β¬β’s husband convinces her that letting Helen live with them could be her golden chance to repair their relationship. Geneva isnΓ’β¬β’t expecting her mother to change anytime soon, but she may finally get answers to the questions sheΓ’β¬β’s been asking for so long. As the truth about her family unfolds, however, Geneva may find secrets too painful to bear and too terrible to forgive. CONVERSATION GUIDE INCLUDED
