As their past is re-written, secrets and lies are uncovered, and the Fisher clan implodes in a way they could never have dreamed possible. But will it take falling apart to bring them closer together? From the New York Times bestselling author of Amazing Grace Adams comes a witty, tender portrait of a family’s highs and lows over the years, examining how all siblings are equal – but some are more equal than others.
