About the Book: Years after Nora Bridge walked out on her family, she’s become a beloved advice columnist, while her daughter Ruby channels her resentment into a struggling comedy career. When a scandal from Nora’s past is exposed, their long-standing estrangement turns explosive. After Nora is injured in an accident, Ruby reluctantly returns home—motivated by a magazine deal to write a tell-all about her mother. They retreat to Summer Island, their old family home filled with memories, where Ruby is also reunited with her first love and his brother. As past wounds resurface, mother and daughter must confront betrayal, loss, and the chance for forgiveness.
