From the New York Times bestselling author of
The Bookshop at Water’s End, here is a lush,
heart-wrenching novel about the power of memory, the meaning
of family, and learning to forgive.
Ten years ago, Lena Donohue experienced a wedding-day
betrayal so painful that she fled the small town of
Watersend, South Carolina, and reinvented herself in New
York City. Though now a freelance travel writer, the one
place she rarely goes is home—until she learns of her dad’s
failing health.
Returning to Watersend means seeing the sister she has
avoided for a decade and the brother who runs the family’s
Irish pub and has borne the burden of his sisters’ rift.
While Alzheimer’s slowly steals their father’s memories, the
siblings rush to preserve his life in stories and in
photographs. As his secret past brings Lena’s own childhood
into focus, it sends her on a journey to discover the true
meaning of home.
