Tabitha Brewer wakes up one morning to find her husband gone, leaving her no way to support herself and their two children, never mind their upscale Philadelphia lifestyle. Sheโd confess her situation to her friendsโif it wasnโt for those dreadful words of warning in his goodbye note: โIโll tell them what you did.โ Instead, she does her best to keep up appearances, even as months pass and she can barely put food on the tableโ much less replace a light bulb. While she looks for a job, she lives in fear that someone will see her stuffing toilet paper into her handbag or pinching basil from a neighborโs window box. Soon, blindsided by catastrophe, surprised by romance, and stunned by the kindness of a stranger, Tabitha realizes she canโt keep her secrets forever. Sooner or later, someone is bound to figure out that her life is far from perfect.
