Three sisters Cait, Alice and Maggie Ryan haven’t seen each other in a while, they haven’t been home in Port Haven at the same time in years. While the martyr, Alice, lives nearby and is the main caregiver for their aging parents - she quietly dreams of the day her children are grown so she can pursue her own interests. Perfect Cait lives in London, practicing law, enduring a bad marriage and watching her nanny raise their twins. The youngest, Maggie, teaches English at a fancy boarding school struggling with one foot still in the closet, doubtful her Irish Catholic mother who was raised by nuns will ever truly accept her life choices. As they converge for Thanksgiving the many years of buried secrets and past tragedies rise to the surface adding layer upon layer of chaos to the already high strung holiday. The lingering sadness of losing their brother, decline of their parents and an old love affair weigh heavily as an uncertain future forces each sister to bravely face the truth. Navigating complicated sibling bonds and obligations, the women find that expectations are best understood after a moment in another’s shoes. A fabulous, fast paced, heartfelt debut. Looking forward to reading more from this author. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
