About this item

by Barbara S. Rusiecki (Author)

Matilda Warbucks has spent her whole life outrunning the wreckage of her childhood-an ice-cold mother who gave her away, a foster system that taught her survival over trust, and a marriage built on love, ambition, and secrets. When her husband Augustus, now a successful plastic surgeon, shatters their carefully crafted world by fathering a child with his surgical nurse, Matilda loses everything: her marriage, her home, and her sense of who she is.

But when her beloved father dies, leaving her a final request-to reconnect with the sprawling, outrageous MacMooney clan she barely remembers-Matilda stumbles into a world of rough-edged tradespeople, bawdy humor, fierce loyalty, and unexpected tenderness. They tear down and rebuild her collapsing house... and slowly begin tearing down and rebuilding her, too.As her sons spiral under the weight of divorce, as secret shames surface, and as an unexpected pregnancy forces her to confront her own flaws, Matilda learns that healing isn't clean or pretty. It's muddy, messy, loud, and-if you're lucky-shared with people who love you enough to show up with a sledgehammer.Blisteringly funny, heartbreakingly honest, and full of unforgettable characters, this is a story about trauma and tenderness, forgiveness and fury, and the wild, miraculous power of the family we choose-especially when they choose us back.
