Contemporary fiction about two sisters who find out their mother has been hiding a secret life for over forty years. Somerset Award finalist, and USA Today Bestseller.

When Mary Reilly turns up in a hospital hundreds of miles from the senior community where she lives, Nell and Bridget discover their mother's second home. She has a lakeside cottage in Vermont and a series of complex relationships with people her daughters have never met. The family drama leads back to the 1960's and knits together the stories of all three women, the sacrifices they've made and the secrets they carry.

Nell is a carpool mom and corporate trophy wife who yearns for a life of her own. Bridget is a glamorous interior designer who transforms herself for every new man, always attracted to the bad ones. Their mother, Mary, was a US Army nurse during the Vietnam War, then married handsome navy pilot Thomas Reilly and lived happily ever after…or did she? Her hideaway is a vault for family secrets never suspected, and the gateway to change.
