Synopsis

This whimsical and evocative story-praised by Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews-follows an illegitimate child placed with a powerful and eccentric Hollywood family after a scandalous affair.

When a notorious lawyer, at the behest of a famed composer, meticulously conceals the child's origins, his adoptive mother spares no effort to bury the truth. Pulling strings and enlisting influential allies, including a television icon, she constructs an elaborate facade to ensure he never uncovers his past. Yet, as he ages, cracks appear, leaving him haunted by an unshakable sense that something crucial is being hidden.

Set against Tinseltown's deceptive allure and shadowy intrigues, this memoir delves into the profound depths of childhood trauma, family secrets, and the universal search for belonging. Through a poignant journey of self-discovery and healing, the author reflects on the fragile bonds that define family, weaving an intensely personal narrative that lingers in the heart and mind long after the final page.
