This novel explores the long-lasting effects of infidelity, divorce, and betrayal on a family, while examining love, forgiveness, and the possibility of healing.
--
For eighteen years, Ava Vance has divided her life between two homes.
Her parents have mastered birthdays, graduations, and holidays without ever becoming a family again. To Ava, it's simply the way life has always been.
When her mother leaves on a weekend vacation with her boyfriend, Ava stays with her father. While searching through old boxes, she stumbles upon home videos from a life she never knew-a house filled with laughter, family dinners, bedtime stories, and two parents who looked deeply in love.
Watching those tapes, Ava realizes she isn't longing for the past.
She's longing for the family she never got to have.
Determined to bring back her family together, she plans one final birthday gift: a family trip with her parents and siblings.
She hopes two weeks together might remind Christopher and Melissa Vance of what they once had.
Instead, it forces them to confront the conversation they've avoided for eighteen years-and the devastating truth behind the divorce that changed all of their lives forever.
Because sometimes love survives.
Trust doesn't.
