Sylvie and Maggie, two women in their forties living on opposite coasts, share more in common than they realize. With children about to leave the nest and husbands who travel more than they'd like, both feel anxious and lonely, yearning for their partners to be home now more than ever. It isn't until Eve, Sylvie's daughter, befriends Maggie's daughter that the striking similarities between the two women come to light. A well-hidden secret from the past is about to surface, threatening to blow their lives apart.

Can Sylvie and Maggie learn to forgive, for the sake of their children . . . and for themselves? Family Pictures is an emotional, page-turning story that explores the complexities of family life, marriage, and motherhood. As dark truths emerge, Green masterfully shows the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters in this ultimately redemptive tale.
