ONE FAMILY. SEVEN DAYS. A LIFE-CHANGING DISCOVERY . . .
It's been twenty years since Mallory left home, running from the scandal that tore her family apart and ended her relationship with her first love. But now her father is sick, and Mallory, along with her estranged sisters, must return to the lives they left behind . . .
Soon after her arrival, Mallory bumps into Jack, the only man she's ever loved and the reason she left town. Jack is different now, no longer the rebel she once knew, but as much as the pair wish to reconnect, the secrets that tore them apart decades ago continue to divide them.
While caring for her father and trying to repair her rocky relationship with her sisters, Mallory, with Jack's help, chases down answers about the scandal that separated them. Could it be that the truth they're seeking lies much closer to home?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Delinsky's latest (after Before and Again) is a moving, intimate tale about the indelible bond between family members. The Aldiss sisters Mallory, Anne, and Margo reunite at their family's Bay Bluff, R.I., beach house 20 years after their father's role in a scandal divided them and broke up their parents' marriage. Their father, judge Tom Aldiss, was suspected in the disappearance of neighbor Elizabeth MacKay during a late-night boat ride that was later declared an accidental drowning, though her body was never recovered. After college, Mallory settled in New York City while Anne stayed in Bay Bluff. Delinsky fast-forwards to present day, when Mallory receives an alarming call from Jack Sabathian, her first love and Elizabeth's son, about Tom's mental decline. Immediately upon arrival in Bay Bluff, Mallory tries to make peace with Anne, who resents Mallory's intrusion, while resisting her still-strong attraction to Jack. Furthering the suspense, Margo divulges a secret about a love triangle that transpired before their parents married. As long-buried secrets are revealed, the sisters contend with the extreme circumstances that caused the breach in their relationships with one another. This well-crafted story, buoyed by descriptions of the weathered beach town and nicely drawn characters, will delight Delinsky's fans.
