An often engaging tale of kinship and finding safe harbor. - Kirkus Reviews Author Kristy McGinnis has crafted a beautifully told story that really focuses deeply on the central characters and the choices they've made in their lives that may or may not define their future. - Readers Favorite An empowering, contemporary, literary dive into the pool of maternal messiness from the author of Ellipsis. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult and Taylor Jenkins Reid. Kenna has been living under the shadow of her mother, America's favorite celebrity, Tessa Shepherd. America doesn't know what the woman is really like though. Now, the twenty-year-old student finds herself immersed in scandal and facing her mother's wrath. Out of options, she turns to the surrogate who hasn't been in her life since birth. Still grieving the death of her wife, Rachel's been going through the empty motions of life. She hasn't seen the child she handed over at birth since that day some twenty years ago but when she learns of Kenna's plight she finds herself reaching out despite the contract she signed those many years ago. Desperate to escape Tessa's wrath and to find purpose again, the women embark on a life-changing road trip that takes them down the eastern seaboard to the ultimate destination of Key West, Florida. Along the way they confront old ghosts, find inspiration in the most unlikely of faces, and redefine what family really means. Part escape, part adventure, the women uncover secret stories from each other's lives and realize they are more alike than they initially understood. The reader is the third person along the journey, privy to Kenna and Rachel's secrets and to their transformation in this vivid, beautifully crafted tale of how two near-strangers can save each other.
