Summary
Twenty years ago, Grace wanted nothing more than to be with Trent – a boy with a guitar and a lot of promises. Twenty years ago, Dorothy wanted nothing more than for her daughter to fulfil her potential.
In a moment of heartbreak and fury, Grace makes a split-second decision to board a plane to London and put an ocean between them. There, Grace takes a job answering calls for a wannabe music mogul and sends her life on a dazzling trajectory, resulting in an illustrious career managing a megastar, large houses in glamorous places, two children (one who might be a sociopath but the other seems fine) and marriage to Ed. Ed who would do anything for her … except move back in.
Now, Grace is dragging her kids and a particularly irritating dachshund to her childhood home, where Dorothy is waiting with a roast and inevitable questions about where it all went wrong. On a McDonald's pitstop, among fractious kids and a runaway dog, she bumps into a ghost from the past … Trent.
Claire Zorn perfectly encapsulates the pitfalls of fledgling adulthood and the 'what ifs' of later life. She explores how the demands of being an adult – career, marriage, motherhood – can chip away at who we are, and she accomplishes it with writing that is compassionate, creative, funny and thought-provoking.©2025 Claire Zorn (P)2025 W.

I wish the story of these characters would continue. I think will hear more from this writer. The narrator was fantastic.
Amazing writing
