Desiree is definitely a drama queen in more ways than one. She is negative, self-absorbed, and pouts if her daughter and friends don't cater to her. Not surprisingly, Juliet agrees to care for her mother and this is where the story gets interesting.Juliet's mother, Desiree is an actress and is completely selfish and truly someone you will love to hate while reading the book. As she struggles with how to handle the chaos in her life, her brother, a successful and busy lawyer, asks her to return to the states to care for their mother after a fall breaks her hip. Her husband, Michael, has left her and she has recently found out she was pregnant. What Juliet doesn't realize is that going home will reveal secrets that will forever change how she views her family and her future.The setting begins with Juliet, a successful artist living in Mexico. Uliet has been dumped by her husband, is pregnant, and now has to return to her home in New England to care for her mother whom she ran away from years ago.
Little does she know that these relationships hold the key to shocking secrets about her family and herself that have been hiding in plain sight.… Instead she meets a man who makes her question every choice and reawakens her spirit, even as she is being drawn into a long-running feud between her mother and a reclusive neighbor. Juliet intends to get her mother back on her feet and return to Mexico fast, but nothing goes as planned. Plus, nobody back home knows about her divorce-or the fact that she’s pregnant and her ex-husband is not the father. She and her self-absorbed mother have always clashed. When her brother asks her to come home to wintery New England and care for their ailing mother, a flamboyant actress with a storied past, Juliet goes reluctantly. Now her marriage is over, and she’s alone, selling watercolors to tourists on the Puerto Vallarta boardwalk. Years ago, Juliet Clark gave up her life in California to follow the man she loved to Mexico and pursue her dream of being an artist.
What if everything you knew about your life was wrong?
