AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Sister and The Mother-in-Law comes a new novel of family drama and long-buried secrets.

'The moment she laid eyes on Heather Wisher, Tully knew this woman was going to destroy their lives.

'Tully and Rachel are murderous when they discover their father has a new girlfriend. The fact that Heather is half his age isn't even the most shocking part. Stephen is still married to their mother, who is stricken with Alzheimer's Disease.

'Heather knows she has an uphill battle to win Tully and Rachel over - particularly while carrying the shameful secrets of her past. But, as it turns out, her soon-to-be stepdaughters have secrets of their own.

'The announcement of Stephen and Heather's engagement threatens to set off a family implosion, with old wounds and dark secrets finally being forced to the surface.

'A garage full of stolen goods. An old hot water bottle, stuffed with cash. A blood-soaked wedding. And that's only the beginning...' (Publication summary)
