Although he’s able to speak and move on his own, he requires help around the house that his grandson, Seth, is sometimes unable to provide. It’s been a good setup, but Becca knows she can’t stay there forever. Since the events in Deception Pass, Becca and Derric have broken up, Jenn McDaniels has been kicked out of her home and is living with Diana Kinsale, and Prynne Haring has made a commitment to stay sober. Becca and her circle of friends try their hardest to navigate the realities of love, independence, and trust, and the difficulties they impose along the way. In the continuation and climax of the Whidbey Island saga, affairs of romance, betrayal, and deceit threaten to upend the lives of Becca and the people she’s come to know and love. Does she have it in her to come face-to-face with her long-lost mother? When she does, is there a life to return to?
