A story of three grown sisters, whose father—in a moment of crisis—accidentally lets slip that he has a favourite, from the author of New York Times bestseller Amazing Grace Adams.

Alex, Nancy, and Eva Fisher. Three grown-up sisters, loved equally by their parents, Vivienne and Patrick.

Or so they thought.

Until, during a family holiday, Patrick lets slip that he has a favourite. While they try to gloss over it, this sets in motion the unravelling of everything the sisters thought they knew—including their much treasured family bond.

But will it take falling apart to bring them closer together?
