She&’s always wished they could be more, but now he&’s writing an exposé on the one subject she&’s been desperate to avoid: her father.Daisy&’s plan is to maintain a low profile as she works to keep her family intact amid social exile, public shaming, and quickly dwindling savings. But the spotlight always seems to find the Richardsons, and when another twist in the scandal comes to light, Daisy must confront the consequences of her continued silence and summon the courage to stand up and accept the power of her own voice.&“A stellar novel that celebrates sisterhood and the way women can step out of flawed men&’s shadows.
