Book Summary
From the New York Times bestselling author-a
momentous new novel about a family suddenly thrown together
Callie Perry is a successful family
photographer living in upstate New York. She adores her two
daughters, has great friends, and actually doesn't mind that
her workaholic husband gets home at 9 p.m. every night-that
is, when he's not traveling six months out of the year.
Callie's younger sister, Steff, on the other hand,
has never grown up. She's a free spirit, living in downtown
Manhattan and bouncing between jobs and boyfriends. Lately,
she's been working as a vegan chef, even though she can't
cook.
Lila Grossman is Callie's best friend and has
finally met the man of her dreams. Eddie has two wonderful
children, but also a drama queen ex-wife who hates Lila. And
then there are Callie and Steff's parents, Walter Cutler and
Honor Pitman. Divorced for thirty years, they rarely speak
to each other.
The lives of these colorful
characters intersect when they each receive a shocking note
that summons them together for one extraordinary summer in
Maine and changes their lives forever. This novel is about
the hard choices we have to face, about having to be your
parents' child long after you've grown up, and about the
enduring nature of love.
