Thirtysomething Leigh Fortune never thought she'd make it this far. Emerging from the ashes of a traumatic childhood, she's managed to plant her flag on Terra Normal. But under the surface she's unsure—of herself, of her fiancée, of everything. A letter informing her of her estranged mother's death tips her from uncertainty into emotional upheaval and sends her on a journey that will take her from the dunes of Cape Cod to Las Vegas and back.

Will she—with the help of her elderly grandmother, an HIV-positive social worker, and a few ghosts—finally be able to leave childhood hurt behind? Or will she upend the life she's created and fall back into familiar patterns of self-destructiveness? To free herself from her past, Leigh will need to learn to accept her own faults as well as forgive those of others.
