Description
The acclaimed author of the "lyrical coming-of-age novel" (Good Morning America) The People We Keep returns with a luminous contemporary women's fiction story about strong female characters, family estrangement, found family, and the transformative power of redemption. It's been ten years since Freya Arnalds left a goodbye note on her parents' kitchen table and fled her hometown of Somers, New York, driving up the coast to disappear into a lackluster life as a bartender in Maine. But, on the cusp of her thirtieth birthday, when an emergency leaves her short on rent, Freya returns to Somers to live in the derelict house she inherited after her parents' untimely death, and soon discovers that her fifteen-year-old niece, Aubrey, is secretly living there. Despite all attempts to lay low in her old town, Freya reunites with childhood friends, encounters familial enemies, and stokes old flames while she fights to stay afloat and give her niece a better life than the one she's had. As they reconnect, Freya and Aubrey learn to lean on each other, working to restore the house and come to terms with the devastating events that pulled them apart years ago. Set in the birthplace of the American circus, this deeply moving novel examines the mythology of a broken family, the weight of the past, and the complicated journey of finding home.
