Book Synopsis

Eve Jensen was barely an adult when she ran from the only home she’d ever known—and the mother who made it unbearable. She threw herself into a successful career in Chicago and never looked back. But when her mother dies, leaving behind a quiet life in a Nebraska town Eve barely recognizes, she’s forced to confront the one thing she’s avoided for nearly two decades: the truth.

 

With the help of a fiercely loyal best friend, the unexpected kindness of strangers, and an attentive attorney named Adam, Eve begins unraveling the mystery of the woman her mother became—and the girl Eve used to be. Moving, sharp, and deeply human,
