An indie musician reeling from tragedy and a public breakdown reconnects with her father on a
weeklong cruise in a pitch-perfect story about the ways we recover love in the strangest
places” (Rebecca Serle bestselling author of In Five Years) The characters are drawn with a
generosity that allows them to be wrong but also right loving but also prone to missteps and
ultimately deserving of a resolution that’s full of hope.”—Linda Holmes New York Times
bestselling author of Flying Solo ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: She Reads Just after the
death of her mother—her first and most devoted fan—and weeks before the launch of her
high-stakes sophomore album Greta James falls apart on stage. The footage quickly goes viral
and she stops playing her career suddenly in jeopardy—the kind of jeopardy her father Conrad
has always predicted. Months later Greta—still heartbroken and very much adrift—reluctantly
agrees to accompany Conrad on the Alaskan cruise her parents had booked to celebrate their
fortieth anniversary. It could be their last chance to heal old wounds in the wake of shared
loss. But the trip will also prove to be a voyage of discovery for them both and for Ben
Wilder a charming historian struggling with a major upheaval in his own life. As Greta works
to build back her confidence and Ben confronts an uncertain future they find themselves drawn
to and relying on each other. It’s here in the unlikeliest of places—at sea far from the
packed city venues where she usually plays and surrounded by the stunning Alaskan
wilderness—that Greta will have to decide what her path forward might look like—and how to find
her voice again.
