Hidden family secrets threaten to mar aspiring writer Ava's summer retreat. When her mother dies, Ava realizes it's time for a change, so she quits her job in Chicago and moves to Tennessee to stay with an old friend's relatives. While the eccentric family provides rich fodder for her novel, Ava quickly learns that some secrets are better left hidden. Fans of Southern fiction will lap up Holton's (Beach Trip) setting and characters.
