Celeste English and Ronnie Frazier are sisters, but they couldn't be
more different. Celeste is a doctor's wife, living a perfect and elegant
façade. But secretly, her marriage is falling apart and her need to
control people around her threatens to destroy them all. Ronnie is an
actress, living in New York. But she has no money, she has no home, and
her life is held together by chewing gum, paper clips, and spit. When
their father dies, the sisters inherit a house in Prosper, North
Carolina. Their mother, Della, would rather they forget about going
there and dredging up the past. Neither of them suspect that their trip
to Prosper will uncover decades-old secrets, family betrayals, and
tangled relationships - or that it will make these two strangers realize
that they are, and always will be, sisters.
