Description

In the picturesque coastal town of Wenham, Massachusetts, Hildy Good presents the image of a successful real estate broker, devoted mother, and cherished grandmother. Yet, beneath this polished facade lies a fierce battle with alcoholism, a secret she desperately tries to conceal from her loved ones and the community. As Hildy navigates the complexities of her addiction and the loneliness that follows a failed intervention, she becomes entangled in the hidden secrets and simmering scandals of her seemingly idyllic New England town. This novel masterfully blends humor and poignancy, exploring themes of self-deception, the search for connection, and the enduring power of desire, all while posing the profound question of what it truly takes to overcome one's deepest struggles.
