Publisher's Synopsis
At forty, it appears Ellie de Florent-Smith has everything she ever wanted: a handsome husband, an accomplished college-age stepdaughter, adorable and rambunctious six-year-old twin boys, homes in the city, desert and beach, a thriving career as a well-known fashion designer, and a glamorous circle of friends. Except everything is not quite as perfect as it looks on the outside. Scrubbing her past of its shadows has a cost, and all of Ellie s secrets come to light on the night of her fabulous birthday party where everyone who matters in her life shows up, invited or not, and the beautiful facade of her life crumbles in one night.
