From the beloved author of We All Want Impossible Things, a moving, hilarious story of a family summer vacation full of secrets, lunch, and learning to let go.

For the past two decades, Rocky has looked forward to her familys yearly escape to Cape Cod. Their humble beach-town rental has been the site of sweet memories, sunny days, great meals, and messes of all kinds: emotional, marital, andthanks to the cottages ancient plumbingseptic too.

This years vacation, with Rocky sandwiched between her half-grown kids and fully aging parents, promises to be just as delightful as summers pastexcept, perhaps, for Rockys hormonal bouts of rage and melancholy. (Hello, menopause!) Her body is changingher life is, too. And then a chain of events sends Rocky into the past, reliving both the tenderness and sorrow of a handful of long-ago summers.

It’s one precious week: everything is in balance; everything is in flux. And when Rocky comes face to face with her familys history and future, she is forced to accept that she can no longer hide her secrets from the people she loves.
