A
story from debut author Abby Fabiaschi that is "as absorbing as it is
illuminating, and as witty as it is heartbreaking."
Maddy is a devoted stay-at-home
wife and mother, host of excellent parties, giver of thoughtful gifts, and
bestower of a searingly perceptive piece of advice or two. She is the
cornerstone of her family, a true matriarch...until she commits suicide, leaving
her husband Brady and teenage daughter Eve heartbroken and reeling, wondering
what happened. How could the exuberant, exacting woman they loved disappear so
abruptly, seemingly without reason, from their lives? How they can possibly
continue without her? As they sift through details of her last days, trying to
understand the woman they thought they knew, Brady and Eve are forced to come
to terms with unsettling truths.
Maddy, however, isn’t ready to leave her family
forever. Watching from beyond, she tries to find the perfect replacement for
herself. Along comes Rory: pretty, caring, and spontaneous, with just the right
bit of edge...but who also harbors a tragedy of her own. Will the mystery of
Maddy ever come to rest? And can her family make peace with their history and
begin to heal?
