Taisy Cleary has loved three men in her life: her first boyfriend Ben Ransom, her twin brother Marcus, and her father Wilson. Wilson is a professor, inventor, and millionaire who abandoned Taisy's family seventeen years ago for Caroline, a young sculptor. Now Wilson calls Taisy out of nowhere. He wants her to visit for an extended stay. He wants her to meet Willow, her teenage half-sister who looks at Taisy with jealousy and mistrust. He also wants Taisy to help write his memoir. Taisy agrees to the visit, stepping into a world where family secrets lurk beneath polite conversation. Willow struggles with her own feelings about this older sister she barely knows but secretly admires. As the two women navigate their complicated relationship, they uncover truths about their father, their family, and themselves. The story reveals how love can both wound and heal across generations.
