The acclaimed author of the “lyrical coming-of-age novel” (Good Morning America) The People We Keep returns with a luminous new story of redemption, breaking generational curses, and the power of family in its truest form.
After an emergency leaves her short on rent, thirty-year-old Freya Arnalds bails on her lackluster life as bartender in Maine and returns to her suburban hometown of Somers, New York, to live in the house she inherited from her estranged parents. Despite attempts to lay low, Freya encounters childhood friends, familial enemies, and old flames—as well as her fifteen-year-old niece, Aubrey, who is secretly living in the derelict home. As they reconnect, Freya and Aubrey lean on each other, working to restore the house and come to terms with the devastating events that pulled them apart years ago.
Set in the birthplace of the American circus, this deeply moving novel is an exploration of broken families, the weight of the past, and the complicated journey of finding home.

This latest work by the author is my favorite. Julia Whelan narrates the audiobook with a comfortable voice that is a pleasure to listen to for hours. It’s no wonder the author has selected her to narrate her books.
A delightful ending to the audiobook was the author reading the acknowledgments, allowing the emotion of her appreciation for those acknowledged to be fully felt by the listener.
A beautiful story that will stay with me for some time.
I believe this is Allison Larkin’s best
