Description
When March Murray returns to her small Massachusetts hometown after nearly two decades away to attend the funeral of the woman who raised her, she finds herself face-to-face with Hollis, the love of her youth—a man whose sudden departure had left her heartbroken and questioning herself for years. As March grapples with the intensity of their rekindled connection, she begins to unravel the complex web of choices, sacrifices, and hidden truths that have shaped the lives of everyone around her, from the beloved housekeeper who knew far more about love than March ever realized to her grief-stricken brother seeking solace in alcohol. Caught between the pull of an overwhelming attraction to her past and the fragile bonds of her present life—her marriage and her relationship with her teenage daughter—March must confront the dangerous allure of reclaiming what was lost and discover what it truly means to move forward. Alice Hoffman's lyrical exploration of homecoming, desire, and the weight of our choices reveals how the past never truly leaves us, and how the people we love most can both anchor us and threaten to pull us under.
