Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Have you ever wondered what your mother was like before she became your mother, and what she sacrificed for you? In the early 2000s, Laura, a talented songwriter, arrives in New York City, leaving her safe Ohio life behind to pursue her dream of recording an album. Just as she starts booking gigs, she falls for a compelling yet troubled rising rock star. His accidental death leaves her devastated and unexpectedly pregnant. Faced with obligation and confusion, she decides to raise her daughter, Marie, with intermittent help from her friend Callie. As Laura struggles to maintain her music career, she finds herself only able to write songs for the infant classes she teaches, leading to a life filled with nonsensical sing-alongs. Fourteen years later, Marie grapples with her father's legacy and her own depression, while Laura tries to shield her from the truth about her biological father. However, Marie's quest to find Dylan's family forces both to confront the heartache in their relationship. Laura must face the sacrifices of motherhood and discover which parts of her former self she can reclaim.
