A novel of explosive family secrets, regret, and all the little
decisions that shape our lives and make us who we are.
At the age of thirty-nine, Alice Chang suddenly finds herself living in
the last place she expected: her mother's house. But in the face of
divorce, eviction, and the recent death of her father, she doesn't have
a choice.
Watching as her mother thrives in a new job and meets younger men at the
local gym, Alice struggles, reflecting on her parents' marriage, her
relationship with each of them, as she adjusts to being single again for
the first time in twenty years. Then she finds her father's old
journal...and uncovers a shocking family secret that forces her to
question everything she thought she knew about love, regret, family, and
her own path forward.
As Alice comes to terms with the man her father really was, she must
finally decide who she wants to be and what it will take to get there.
