From the author of Inheriting Edith comes a brave new novel about
the intersection of art and grief after the tragic loss of her own
husband in 2017.
Mia used to be fun. She was the class clown; a member of the mile high
club; the mom who made her sons giggle with her bad British accent and
well-placed tickles.
But three years after the death of her husband, there's no time for
that. She's the only parent they have.
Now, her memoir is out and she has to promote it. But how to sell
herself when her heart is still broken? And so her three best
friends--Chelsea, Rachel and George--organize her book tour in their
respective hometowns. With her father Ira on deck for the boys, Mia sets
off on a week-long journey to San Francisco, Chicago, and Atlanta: her
hometown.
Although, Mia's not just going for herself. Armed with her trademark
agenda, she plans to fix her friends' lives as a means of repayment for
all they've done. And reluctantly visit Judy, her new stepmother,
because she has to--not because she wants to. But even the best agenda
is often rendered useless by reality, and Mia realizes that the stories
she's been telling herself are just that. Stories.
If she can rewrite who she is now by revisiting who she was then, maybe
she can reignite the flame in all of them.
