'I adored it' CLAIRE LOMBARDO
'A gorgeous, sprawling family saga' LITERARY HUB
'A moving portrait of an imperfect American family' JENNIE GODFREY
Summer, California, 1970s.
Sally Samuelson is eight years old, and the course of her family's life is about to change.
When Ellis, her older brother, tragically fails to return from a week up the coast, the world of the Samuelsons never spins on the same axis again. Especially when Julia, Ellis's girlfriend, shows up pregnant on their doorstep.
And over the next four decades, the family fractures and rebuilds again and again - in a story that takes in grief, love affairs, illnesses, late-in-life marriages and long-hidden secrets, to show one complicated but loving family trying to make sense of the world.
