Publisher's Synopsis

"I am literally stunned by this gorgeous debut!" View Literary

In the middle of soaring success, young theatre darling Kit Lasslin suddenly vanishes from the spotlight and slams shut the door on her dreams, leaving the wagging tongues of her peers to the burning question of "What on earth happened?"

Sixteen years later that question still lingers amid a fog of rumor. Kit has eked out a life for herself and her teenage daughter, Sunni. Sure, running a lowbrow dinner theatre is not the career she was headed for, not even close, but beneath its greasy spoons and a misfit crew that she calls family, her dark past is at least kept buried.

When a former castmate comes to town, bringing Kit's secret with him, it's all she can do to steer clear of him and keep the ghosts at bay. But when an old script is unearthed, and history is poised to horrifically repeat, Kit must at last reconcile the shocking truth of her past, even as it quakes the fortresses of art and power, and brings her tight knit theatre community to its knees.

Book club readers, who enjoy the humour of Fredrik Backman's Anxious People alongside a dark mystery in the vein of Big Little Lies, will enjoy this delving into the underbelly of live theatre - the slick, predacious world beneath the slapstick.

"A laugh out loud comedy...a courageous tragedy. Bring the tissues." Lit Service Magazine
