Description
The emotional and evocative new novel about the relationships between mothers and daughters and how they shape you in ways you never imagine...
Three generations of women. Three life-altering events. As they discover the truth of their heritage, they'll discover what makes the pieces of us...
At fifty-eight, Minnie McAllister isn't an old woman. But as Alzheimer's ravages her mind, her brain says otherwise.
Cat McAllister is tackling everything life can throw at her. And just when she thinks it can't get any worse, she's faced with the discovery that Minnie might not be the mother she once knew.
Meanwhile, Cat's daughter, Ruby McAllister, who is staring at two very blue lines, faces a decision that will change the course of her life.
As three generations of women are pulled in three different directions, each is forced to learn lessons about themselves that they never could have imagined.
