Description
When a scandalous affair with a powerful congressman destroys her promising political career, Aviva Grossman retreats from public life and reinvents herself under a new name. Years later, as she considers running for office, the digital traces of her past force her to confront the enduring consequences of public judgment—and the example she is setting for her daughter. Told through the perspectives of five women across generations, the novel explores identity, ambition, motherhood, shame, and the unequal standards imposed on women. Witty, inventive, and deeply empathetic, it uses shifting voices, emails, and a playful interactive section to examine whether anyone can truly begin again in the internet age.
