Publisher's Synopsis
Years ago, Nora Bridge walked out on her marriage and family. Now she is a celebrated talk-show host and newspaper columnist, famous for her straightforward, moral advice. Her daughter Ruby is a struggling comedienne who uses Nora as fuel for her bitter humour. The two haven't spoken for more than a decade. Ruby returns to Summer Island, where she grew up, to research a tell-all book on her mother, but finds that Nora is not the woman she has imagined all these years - and she has harboured terrible family secrets which will change Ruby's view of herself for ever.
