Emily Griffin Libri

Rachel e Darcy, migliori amiche da sempre. Rachel, la brava ragazza, un po' chiusa e sognatrice, e Darcy, quella nata con la camicia, rigorosamente firmata, che da piccola non ha mai dovuto mettere l'apparecchio ai denti e aveva tutti i ragazzi che voleva, tanto che ora, non ancora trentenne, porta al dito un anello di fidanzamento grande quanto un cocomero. Rachel non aveva mia pensato di poter condividere qualcosa con Darcy, né i suoi vestiti alla moda né tanto meno Dex, il suo fidanzato. Eppure, quando, un giorno, si risveglia tra le braccia del futuro maritino, Rachel capisce di averla combinata grossa.

Marian Caldwell ha 36 anni, lavora in televisione e abita nella città dove sognava di vivere fin da bambina: New York. Realizzata sul lavoro e fidanzata con un uomo che in molte le invidiano, ha convinto tutti, perfino se stessa, che la sua vita è esattamente come l'ha sempre desiderata. Una notte, però, Marian apre la porta di casa e si trova di fronte una ragazza che non ha mai visto, ma che ha qualcosa di familiare. Bastano poche parole per catapultarla nel suo passato, dove si cela un segreto che non ha mai confidato a nessuno, se non a sua madre: sua figlia, Kirby, che ora le sta davanti e che involontariamente la costringe a riaprire un capitolo della sua vita che pensava di aver chiuso per sempre. Kirby è precoce e determinata e ha una viscerale passione per la musica. Ha trascorso diciott'anni sotto l'ala protettrice della famiglia adottiva, ma da qualche mese sente l'irrefrenabile bisogno di conoscere la sua vera madre. Perché è sempre stata diversa dagli altri ragazzi della sua età e vuole scoprire come mai. La reazione iniziale di Marian è quella di vivere il nuovo arrivo con superficialità: se non si va troppo a fondo è impossibile farsi male. Ma presto si accorgerà che non basta riempire di vestiti firmati l'armadio della figlia per diventare una madre. Sarà Kirby a condurla verso la parte perduta di se stessa, per farle scoprire chi è e chi può ancora diventare.

Sarah Percy, once the star of a popular morning show segment, faces declining ratings and struggles to provide household advice, especially when her mother becomes involved. Debbie Windsor, Sarah's mother, is a compulsive hoarder and shopaholic, a secret Sarah has hidden for years.

After relocating from England to Pennsylvania, the family's home becomes a chaotic reflection of Debbie's struggles. Despite her family's efforts to help, Debbie dismisses their concerns, putting her safety at risk. When Sarah's brother nominates their mother for a TV episode about hoarding, he insists on Sarah's involvement. Reluctantly, both women agree, but the stakes are high. As family and romantic relationships hang in the balance—including Sarah's connection with the show's attractive host and Debbie's budding romance with a local shopkeeper—long-hidden secrets and resentments must be confronted for the family to heal and move forward.
