Sunday Brennan opens her eyes in a Los Angeles hospital at twenty-nine, her body covered in bruises and bandages. The traumatic night that landed her here feels like a blur she desperately wants to forget. How did she end up driving drunk and causing an accident? Her brother Danny arrives with skepticism about her supposed success story in LA and a blunt ultimatum. The family pub back in New York is failing, and she needs to come home. Sunday fled Long Island five years earlier, leaving her brothers and boyfriend behind without explanation. She kept her reasons secret, abandoning the people who loved her with broken hearts and unanswered questions. Now Danny insists she return to save the business that represents their only hope. Sunday must face the family she hurt and the life she abandoned. The question becomes whether she can find the courage to reveal why she ran away in the first place. Her homecoming will force her to confront both the secrets she has hidden from her family and the ones she has kept to protect them.
