From the author of The Things We Never Said comes an incredibly
moving and heartrending novel about the difficult relationship between a
mother and a daughter, and the effect that secrets and deception can
have on a family.
Eleanor and her mother Marjorie have always had a difficult
relationship. Although they've tried, they have always just failed to
connect. Now Marjorie has Alzheimer's, and as her memory fades, her
grip on what she has kept hidden from her daughter begins to loosen.
But Marjorie's memory is failing fast and every time she tries to tell
Eleanor the truth, she can't recall what she wanted to say. Eleanor
knows time is running out, and as she tries to uncover the truth before
it becomes lost forever, she begins to discover what really happened
when she was a child--and why.
