Summary:When her stepdaughter announces her engagement to her pandemic boyfriend, Sarah Danhauser is shocked. Headstrong Ruby has already set a date (just three months away!) and spoken to her beloved safta, Sarah's mother Veronica, about having the wedding at the family's beach house on Cape Cod before it is being put on the market. As the wedding date approaches, Ruby finds herself grappling with the wounds left by the mother who walked out when she was a baby. Veronica ends up facing unexpected news, and must revisit the choices she made long ago. Sarah's twin brother, Sam, is recovering from a terrible loss, and confronting big questions about who he is. Sarah's husband, Eli, has been distant during the pandemic. And Sarah, frustrated by her husband, concerned about her stepdaughter, faces the reappearance of someone from her past-- and a life that could have been. -- adapted from jacket.
