Synopsis: Tessa Cordelia appears to have it all—a loving husband who&’s just opened a dental practice, a beautiful baby girl, a big house in the suburbs, and a large, supportive family. But when her husband's reckless choices resurrect a trauma from her childhood, she must decide which is more costly: keeping his secrets or revealing them. He manipulates Tessa into believing his career and their happiness depend on her silence. She feels like she&’s losing her mind. Is her husband's habit so awful? In many ways, he&’s an ideal husband; should she let him have this one thing? Determined to maintain the lie that she&’s living the perfect life, Tess lies to everyone she knows—except for CeCe, a woman new to the area whom she&’s just befriended. But after confiding in her, Tessa learns that CeCe has an explosive secret of her own, and her world is further upended. A gripping, nuanced exploration of the havoc addiction can wreak on a family, A Week of Warm Weather is the story of a woman who has to figure out how much she is willing to lose in order to find herself.
