A moving family saga about the cost of living in conformity, Donna Greco comes of age in 1970 with her brother Vincent by her side. While she dreams of a conventional life of marriage, children, and wealth, her artistic brother has other plans. As the years pass, she grows to realize that his free-wheeling attitude may have been the right choice all along. Heartfelt and humorous, this story asks readers an intriguing question: “What pictures will you have of yourself by the end of your life?” If you loved The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney or Matt Haig's Midnight Library, you'll love this poignant character-driven story that reveals the secret to living free. This third book featuring the Greco family is written as a prequel to Olive Branches Don't Grow on Trees and Discovery of an Eagle, but like all of these books, it can be read as a stand-alone.
