Through the bestselling writer of Take Yourself Back to Me comes another securely plotted, emotionally complicated audiobook about strangers who happen to be area of the same family. A series of tragedies brings Vivvie's young grandchildren into her custody, and her two estranged daughters back again under one roof. Jackson, Vivvie's spouse, was shot and killed 30 years ago, and the ramifications have splintered the family into their own isolated remembrances and recriminations. This deeply personal, hauntingly melancholy look at the damages individuals inflict on the other person - and the curing that only they can provide - is filled with flinty, flawed, and complicated people stumbling towards some kind of serenity. Like Elizabeth Strout and Kazuo Isiguro, Deborah Reed knows a tale, and her personas uncover themselves in the subtleties: the space between the thoughts, the sigh behind the smile, and the unreliable lies people notify themselves that eventually uncover the deepest truths. "Reed is fearless in nudging her personas toward disaster, and the listener uses with a thumping center, positive in the story's authoritative prose and, in the end, redeeming spirit. I got genuinely moved by this audiobook, and recommend it highly." (Antonya Nelson, writer of Bound: A Novel plus some Fun: Stories and a Novella).
