Award-winning author ReShonda Tate Billingsley delivers a poignant, page-turning novel about the powerโand fragilityโof family, personal identity, and the choices we are called on to make . . .
Raised by a widowed mother, Jill Reed has come a long way from her difficult youth. But while she may not have had money, Jill never doubted she was rich in love. Her mother, Connie, made Jill the center of her world. Now, even though she has a young family of her own, itโs Jillโs turn to care for her ailing mother.
When early dementia begins to set in, Connie starts talking about Jillโs โother life.โ Jill assumes itโs just rambling confusion. Still, Connieโs stories about Jillโs childhood, and her fatherโs early death, never quite added up. And when a strange man shows up to Jillโs job bearing news that turns Jillโs life upside down, thereโs no denying Connieโs devastating secret.
As Jill sets out to learn more about her past, sheโs stunned by what she learns and what it will mean for her future. Now, she must decide what price sheโs willing to pay to claim the life thatโs rightfully hers.
