Three sisters, Mary, Jane, and Florimel Garden, have built a quiet life at Hollyhock House, surrounded by flowers and each other, after losing their mother. The house is their sanctuary, their whole world, until a letter arrives that unravels everything they believed about their family. Their mother isn't dead. She's been in England, building a life on the stage. What follows is a story about the questions that reshape a family: Who are we when the story we were told falls apart? How do we forgive someone who chose their dreams over us? Taggart writes with tender humor and sharp observation about the particular loneliness of motherless girls making their own way in the world.
