How do you choose between your family and your history? Emotional
and compelling storytelling from Sara Shepard, author of All the
Things We Didn't Say. A late-night phone call on a Sunday evening
rarely brings good news. So when Sylvie, a recently-widowed mother
of two, receives a call from the head teacher of the school she's
on the board of, she knows it won't be something she wants to hear.
The school was founded by her grandfather, and she's inherited
everything he strived to build up - a reputation, a heritage, the
school and the grand old family house. And with this inheritance
comes responsibility. So when her son Scott is whispered to be
involved in a scandal that led to the death of one of the boys he
coaches at the school, it throws the family into chaos: Sylvie has
to decide between her loyalty to the school that has been part of
her family legacy for years and her son who she feels wants nothing
to do with her. She starts spying on the dead boy's father, making
an unlikely connection. Sara Shepard's compelling new novel tells
how hard it can be to really, truly connect to people, how making
quick, easy judgments can come back to haunt you, and how the life
you always planned for - and always dreamed of - often doesn't
always turn out the way you imagined at all...
