Everyone in Phoebe Ferris's life tells a different version of the truth.
Her mother, Meg, ex-rock star and professional question evader, shares
only the end of the story--the post-fame calm that Phoebe's always
known. Her sister Luna, indie rock darling of Brooklyn, preaches a
stormy truth of her own making, selectively ignoring the facts she
doesn't like. And her father, Kieran, the co-founder of Meg's beloved
band, hasn't said anything at all since he stopped calling three years
ago. But Phoebe, a budding poet in search of an identity to call her
own, is tired of half-truths and vague explanations. When she visits
Luna in New York, she's determined to find out how she fits in to this
family of storytellers, and maybe even to continue her own tale. This
soul-searching, authentic debut weaves together Phoebe's story with
scenes from the romance between Meg and Kieran that started it
all--leaving behind a heartfelt reflection on family, fame, and finding
your own way.
Todo el mundo en la vida de Phoebe Ferris cuenta una versión diferente
de la verdad. Su madre, Meg, exestrella de rock y evasora profesional de
preguntas, comparte sólo el final de la historia: la calma después de la
fama que Phoebe siempre ha conocido. Su hermana, Luna, estrella
emergente de rock alternativo, predica una verdad tormentosa de su
propia creación, ignorando selectivamente los hechos que no le placen. Y
su padre, Kieran, el cofundador de la venerada banda de Meg, no ha dicho
palabra desde que dejó de llamarla hace tres años. Pero Phoebe, poeta en
ciernes en busca de una identidad propia, está cansada de medias
verdades y explicaciones vagas. Cuando viaja a Nueva York a visitar a
Luna, decide averiguar cómo encaja ella en esta familia de contadores de
historias, y cómo logrará ser capaz de escribir la suya.
