Three generations. Seven days. One big secret. The author of TheCoincidence of Coconut Cake unfolds a mother-daughter story told by threewomen whose time to reckon with a life-altering secret is running out.
Gina Zoberski wants to make it through one day without her fastidious mother,Lorraine, cataloguing all her faults, and her sullen teenage daughter, May,snubbing her. Too bad there's no chance of that. Her relentlessly sunnydisposition annoys them both, no matter how hard she tries. Instead, Ginafinds order and comfort in obsessive list-making and her work at Grilled G's,the gourmet grilled cheese food truck built by her late husband.
But when Lorraine suffers a sudden stroke, Gina stumbles upon a family secretLorraine's kept hidden for forty years. In the face of her mother's failinghealth and her daughter's rebellion, this optimist might find that piecingtogether the truth is the push she needs to let go...
