From the dustjacket: "Nora Bride may dole out advice in her newspaper column and on her Seattle radio talk show, but she has a few problems of her own. Years earlier, she abandoned her family, including her daugher Ruby, whos now a struggling L.A. comic.; When a taboid scandal and a suspicious car accident leave Nora in need, everyone wants Ruby to dish the dirt. She brings Nora to their family estate on Puget Sound, using this as cover to write a tell-all expose. But as Ruby digs deeper into the past, she unearths family secrets that will forever change her understanding of Nora...and of herself."
