Everyone in Phoebe Ferris s life tells a different version of the truth.
Her mother, Meg, ex-rock star and professional question evader, shares only the end of the story-the post-fame calm that Phoebe s always known. Her sister Luna, indie rock darling of Brooklyn, preaches a stormy truth of her own making, selectively ignoring the facts she doesn t like. And her father, Kieran, the co-founder of Meg s beloved band, hasn t said anything at all since he stopped calling three years ago.
But Phoebe, a budding poet in search of an identity to call her own, is tired of half-truths and vague explanations. When she visits Luna in New York, she s determined to find out how she fits in to this family of storytellers, and maybe even to continue her own tale-the one with the musician boy she s been secretly writing for months.
This soul-searching, authentic debut weaves together Phoebe s story with scenes from the romance between Meg and Kieran that started it all-leaving behind a heartfelt reflection on family, fame, and finding your own way.
