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--the one with the
musician boy she's been secretly writing for months.
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.
