About the Book

Callie Perry lights up every room she enters. Steffi is Callie's younger sister. At 30, she's still a free spirit. Their long-divorced parents share little besides their grown daughters. But when Callie receives a difficult diagnosis, the family will come together for one unforgettable and ultimately life-changing year.

Book Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of Falling and Sister Stardust comes a compelling novel about the love that keeps us together when everything is falling apart.

A successful photographer living in Bedford, New York, Callie Perry adores the settled existence she shares with her handsome husband and two adorable children. But while Callie's life is practically perfect, her nearest and dearest are having a harder time.

Her best friend Lila is stuck dealing with her dream man's demanding ex-wife. Her free-spirited sister Steffi is adjusting after leaving her city life for the simplicity of the country. And her divorced parents, Walter and Honor, can barely stand each other.

But when Callie is diagnosed with a recurrence of the cancer she thought she had beaten, everything changes. With their own problems suddenly in perspective, Callie's family and friends rally to support her during an unforgettable, emotional--and ultimately life-changing year.
