Olivia Hunt is a Hollywood producer whose career—and sense of self—are wobbling when she learns her younger sister Maddie is seriously ill. The story unfolds entirely through Olivia’s letters: funny, blunt, tender, and sometimes painfully revealing. As Maddie fights for her life and Olivia tries to hold herself together, family history resurfaces, priorities snap into focus, and the sisters’ bond deepens in ways neither expected. Heartbreaking and hilarious in turns, this is a novel about the love we don’t always know how to say out loud—and the hope that can grow even in the darkest stretch of a long year.
