After 44 years of marriage, Lily's marriage implodes and she's left to pick up the pieces. She had been a stay-at-home mom to three children and spent her life trying to make her family happy. She was a socialite who threw lavish parties but now she wasn't sure what the future held for her. She decided to take a step that worried her children -- she sold the family home and moved to Cape Cod to get to know some relatives of her mother, who she never even knew existed since her father had kept them a secret from her after her mother's death when she was very young. So off she goes from a settled life to the adventure of meeting new family.

When she arrives at her grandparent's home, she is greeted with tears and open arms. They always wanted to know her better but Lily's father kept them apart. He didn't want Lily to know that all of the negative things he'd said about her mother over the years were lies. When she meets her mother's sisters, the same thing happens. The family is thrilled to meet her and to tell her about her mom. She had been raised to believe that her mom had abandoned her but was that really the truth or was it a lie told to her by her father?
As she meets more of her mother's family -- and there are a lot of people to meet - she begins to feel that she belongs in Cape Cod. Can she start her life over and find happiness or is there too much baggage to keep her from starting anew?

This is a beautiful story about an older woman starting her life over the way she wants to after years of doing things like her husband wants. It’s a story of healing from past lies and the excitement of falling love with a different life than she had lived for years.… (mehr)
