An Instant USA TODAY bestseller!

A sun-soaked trip to the Amalfi Coast promises a fresh start—and reveals secrets never imagined in New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak's tender new novel.

In the wake of her debut novel's breakout success—and a very painful public divorce—Charlotte Williams-Jackson has something to prove. With her second novel overdue, she's scrambling to hold it together. But her focus is rocked when she discovers that her childhood wasn't as it seemed—and she has a tween half-sister who's been orphaned in Italy.

Alongside her best friend, Sloane, and Sloane's charming brother, Julian, Charlotte ventures to the Amalfi Coast to meet her sister. She would never turn her back on family, especially since this girl doesn't have anyone else, but between her looming deadline and her entire identity being flipped upside down, it's a lot. Determined to rebuild her life, Charlotte must confront the relationships she's held dear—and the loss of those she thought she had but didn't—forcing her to question everything she understood about herself and the bonds that shape a family.
