About the Book
Rose Webster is facing down her fortieth birthday and worrying about her future as a photojournalist after getting caught in a raucous rally and shoved to the hard pavement, destroying her camera and, at least temporarily, her livelihood. She’s filling out insurance claims when her aunt calls to tell her she’s needed in upstate New York to care for her ailing mother. Rose has never liked returning to Lake Amelia in the foothills of the Adirondacks for more than a couple of days, but she has no choice. While poking around in the attic of her childhood home, Rose discovers personal items of her late father’s that hint of a secret life: a photo hidden in a book and a travel bag that hasn’t been opened in more than a decade. Her startling discoveries send shockwaves through her family. Will she regret what she learns and how it changes the way she thinks about family?
