CBS New York Book Club with Mary Calvi and Belletrist Book Club Pick Raw  complex  and utterly
unforgettable. -Fiona Davis  New York Times bestselling author The only child of a famous
American novelist discovers a shocking family secret that upends everything she thought she
knew about her parents  her gilded childhood  and her own stalled writing career in this
standout debut  perfect for fans of Pineapple Street and The Plot. Growing up in the nineties
in New York City as the only child of famous parents was both a blessing and a curse for
Isabelle Manning. Her beautiful society hostess mother  Claire  and New York Times bestselling
author father  Ward  were the city's intellectual It couple. Ward's glamorous obligations often
took him away from Isabelle  but Claire made sure her childhood was always filled with love.
Now an adult  all Isabelle wants is to be a successful writer like her father but after many
false starts and the unexpected death of her mother  she faces her upcoming thirty-fifth
birthday alone and on the verge of a breakdown. Her anxiety only skyrockets when she uncovers
some shocking truths about her parents and begins wondering if everything she knew about her
family was all based on an elaborate lie. This literary page-turner (KJ Dell'Antonia  New York
Times bestselling author) is punctuated with fragments of a compulsively readable
book-within-a-book about a woman determined to steal back the spotlight from a man who has
cheated his way to the top. The characters seem eerily familiar but is the plot based on fact?
And more importantly  who is the author?
