A woman and her family confront past traumas and present-day suspicions after news emerges of a celebrity’s mysterious death . . . Lizzie and her loving but somewhat dysfunctional family are still grieving over the loss of a much-loved family member. Lizzie is doing her best to keep her family together—but the recent death of a high-profile record producer has them in a spin. The police suspect foul play; Lizzie and other family members suspect one another. A troubling personal connection to the dead man and his sordid behavior leads Lizzie to begin searching for answers. And soon, she finds herself being dragged back into the past, and into the life of her father, which up until now she has never been privy to . . .

Life is never straightforward. Lizzie is fast approaching 50. Her once angst-ridden teenage daughters have flown the nest: Cassie to London and Maisy to Australia. And although Connor, Lizzie’s teenage son, is now on his own tormented passage to adulthood, his quest to get there is a far quieter journey than that of his sisters. The hard years, Lizzie believes, are behind her. But things are never quite as black and white as them seem... A visit to her daughter in London leaves Lizzie troubled. And that’s just to start. Add to the mix an unexpected visitor, a disturbing phone call, a son acting suspiciously, a run-in with her ex-husband, plus a new man in her life, and Lizzie will soon learn life is something that happens while you’re busy making plans. Nobody said it would be easy. Lizzie knows only too well that life is never straightforward when you see all the colours in between. This is a story of contemporary family life in all its glory.
