The story is split into three acts, each focused on one of the family’s central female protagonists: Zelda, the grandmother shrouded in mystery; Lila, her ambitious daughter who chooses her career over motherhood; and Grace, Lila’s youngest daughter, who has a knack for stirring the pot.

Lila’s untimely death sets off Grace’s quest to uncover the truth about her grandmother Zelda, who the family was told died in a mental institution decades ago. Grace’s doubts about this story — and her frustration with her mother’s distant parenting — drives her to dig deeper, even as her own life gets messy after she publishes a not-so-subtle book about her family.

The narrative moves seamlessly between past and present, unpacking family trauma, ambition, and the ways our histories shape us. Along the way, the cast of characters expands, with Grace’s best friend Ruth and several other figures adding depth and humor. The novel will leave you thinking about how complicated parenthood, identity, and relationships really are.
