Everyone has secrets, some to protect themselves and others to shield loved ones. Cornelia Brown, a devoted city dweller, surprises herself with a sudden desire to leave urban life for an idyllic suburb. Although she and her husband, Teo, believe they’ve made the right choice, Cornelia approaches her new life with trepidation and struggles to make friends. Her resolve is tested by the judgmental neighbor, Piper Truitt, who embodies everything Cornelia feared about suburbia with her perfect appearance and impossible standards. However, a saving grace appears in Lake, a warm yet elusive woman who shares Cornelia’s love for literature and old movies. Lake, who has moved to town to enroll her perceptive son, Dev, in a gifted school, forms an instant bond with Cornelia. Marisa de los Santos masterfully explores the complex interactions among these three women, particularly the emotional roller coaster Piper experiences as she juggles her own household and that of her cancer-stricken best friend, Elizabeth. As their stories unfold, the women become entangled in a web of trust, betrayal, love, and loss, challenging them in unexpected ways and ultimately revealing what it means to belong to one another.
