Description
A poignant and tender novel about a mother and daughter, the secrets that divide them, and the forgiveness that can bring them back together.
Nora Bridge walked out on her marriage years ago, leaving her daughters behind. Now a successful radio talk-show host and newspaper columnist, she is admired by millions for her moral advice.
Her youngest daughter, Ruby, has taken a very different path. A struggling comedian, she uses her famous mother as the subject of her bitter, cynical humour.
Then a scandalous secret from Nora’s past is exposed, bringing their long-standing estrangement into the spotlight. After Nora is injured in an accident, Ruby is offered a fortune by a magazine to write a tell-all about her mother.
Returning home under the pretence of caring for Nora, Ruby agrees to travel with her to Summer Island — the beautiful house by the water where she grew up.
There, surrounded by memories of childhood, Ruby is reunited with her first love and his brother. Once, the three of them were inseparable, until the summer Nora left and everything changed.
A moving story of love, loss, family and the secrets that can shape our lives.
