Overview

Everyone in Phoebe Ferris' life tells a different version of the truth. Her mother Meg shares only the end of the story. Her sister Luna, indie rock darling, preaches a stormy truth of her own making. And her father Kieran, the cofounder of Meg's band, hasn't said anything at all since he stopped calling three years ago. But Phoebe, in search of an identity to call her own, is tired of half-truths and vague explanations. This soul-searching debut weaves together Phoebe's story with scenes from the romance between Meg and Kieran that started it all.
