Synopsis
Since her mother's tragic death right before college graduation, Lex has been running. The only thing she hasn't done: reach out to anyone from back in Memphis. But just as she's most desperate, her godmother, Cami, sends cash, with the condition that Lex return home. There's a catch: for each day Lex stays, she'll get pages from her mother's journal. And not just any pages; the ones from the year before Lex's birth, a time completely unknown to Lex. Lex is quickly drawn into the past version of her mother. As days add up, Lex must confront more of her own past and the people she left behind. The similarities between Lex and her mother send her into a tailspin. Once all is laid bare, Lex must decide for herself: What is the true meaning of family? 'Women's fiction lovers won't be able to put down this story of transformation, coming-of-age and the true meaning of family. Lindsey Rogers Cook has hit her stride!' -- Kristy Woodson Harvey, USA Today bestselling author of Feels Like Falling, A searing Southern story about confronting the difference between the family you're born into and the family you choose, from the acclaimed author of How to Bury Your Brother Lex fled Memphis years ago, making ends meet with odd jobs teaching English around the world. She only returns when she has no choice, when her godmother presents her with a bargain she can't refuse. Lex has never understood her mother, who died tragically right before Lex's college graduation, but now she's got a chance to read her journals, to try and figure out what sent her mother spiraling all those years ago. The Memphis that Lex inhabits is more bourbon and bbq joint than sweet tea on front porches, and as she pieces together the Memphis her mother knew, seeing the lure of the world through her mother's lush writing, she must confront more of her own past and the people she left behind. Once all is laid bare, Lex must decide for herself: What is the true meaning of family?
