reconnects with her father on a weeklong cruise in "a pitch-perfect
story about the ways we recover love in the strangest places" (Rebecca
Serle, bestselling author of In Five Years)

"The characters are drawn with a generosity that allows them to be wrong
but also right, loving but also prone to missteps, and ultimately
deserving of a resolution that's full of hope."--Linda Holmes, New York
Times bestselling author of Flying Solo**
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: She Reads
Just after the death of her mother--her first and most devoted fan--and
weeks before the launch of her high-stakes sophomore album, Greta James
falls apart on stage. The footage quickly goes viral and she stops
playing, her career suddenly in jeopardy--the kind of jeopardy her
father, Conrad, has always predicted.
Months later, Greta--still heartbroken and very much adrift--reluctantly
agrees to accompany Conrad on the Alaskan cruise her parents had booked
to celebrate their fortieth anniversary. It could be their last chance
to heal old wounds in the wake of shared loss. But the trip will also
prove to be a voyage of discovery for them both, and for Ben Wilder, a
charming historian struggling with a major upheaval in his own life. As
Greta works to build back her confidence and Ben confronts an uncertain
future, they find themselves drawn to and relying on each other.
It's here in the unlikeliest of places--at sea, far from the packed city
venues where she usually plays and surrounded by the stunning Alaskan
wilderness--that Greta will have to decide what her path forward might
look like--and how to find her voice again.
