But when Susan's freespirited mother, Ava, a backup singer touring Europe with a series of rock bands, suddenly returns to the family home after a long absence, their world is upended. Ava's reappearance threatens to derail Susan's success and destroy everything Miranda has built in this novel that examines the fragile bonds of family, duty and the burdens of a shared past.
