Synopsis
A Revealing and Intimate Story of What a Mother Will and Will Not Do for Her Daughters
What kind of women do daughters become when their fathers are missing and their mothers can’t love them? How do they find love and ways to love themselves?
Nearly three decades of secrets lie between Lola Ashby and the two girls she reluctantly raised. Now, prompted by the one father figure she respects, older daughter Frankie agrees to drive from Portland to visit her ailing mother, who abandoned the girls when they were in high school. When younger daughter Callie announces to Frankie that she’s moving her fashion model career to Los Angeles from the East Coast, Frankie badgers her sister into meeting up in the Idaho panhandle for a family reunion to dilute the impact of their mother’s indifference.
However, on Frankie’s first night on the road, the trip gets more complicated when a well-dressed elderly woman at a rest stop dumps a young boy in her lap with a request to take him on to Montana. And Callie’s exit from Pittsburgh is fraught with its own shady and violent difficulties. Meanwhile, Lola strengthens her resolve to keep the past and its secrets where they belong.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Nearly three decades of secrets lie between Lola Ashby and the two daughters she reluctantly raised. So when the eldest, Frankie, agrees to visit her ailing mother, who abandoned the girls when they were in high school, Frankie doesn't hold out much hope for a meaningful connection. But when her younger sister Callie announces that she's moving to Los Angeles from the East Coast, Frankie badgers her sister into meeting up for an ill-formed family reunion-and to dilute any awkwardness with Lola. It's a recipe for disaster the sisters know all too well. With Lola doing everything she can to keep them at arm's length, any hope for reconciliation may just shrivel up and blow away-unless they can find a way to forgive themselves, and one another.Told from the perspectives of three different women-each facing her own hope and hardship-this tender, compelling narrative explores the kind of people we become when those who should love us most let us down, and what, if anything, we can do to heal the wounds of the past. For the first time in paperback, a revealing and intimate story of what a mother will-and will not-do for her daughters.
