Kaira Rouda says that narcissists are everywhere in our society. She is starting to re-engage with husband David and younger daughter Betsy who both have big secrets. The book is told from Jane’s perspective, and this is really entertaining because Jane is a narcissist. This story opens up with Jane, who has finally emerged from her year-long fog of grief from her daughter Mary’s sudden and unexpected death. But you never know how far someone will go to keep a family together… The bonds between mothers and daughters, and husbands and wives should never be broken. But does someone know more about Mary, and about her last day, than they’ve revealed? And her beloved Mary was always such a good girl-dutiful and loving. Her daughter seems distant, even secretive. Her husband has been working long days-and nights-at the office. Yet as Jane reemerges into the world, it’s clear her family has changed without her. Jane’s husband, David, has planned a memorial service for Mary and three days later, their youngest daughter, Betsy, graduates high school. It’s time for Jane to reclaim her life and her family. Lost in a haze of anti-depressants, she’s barely even left the house. But exactly one year ago, Jane’s oldest daughter, Mary, died in a tragic accident and Jane has been grief-stricken ever since. It’s a place that seems too beautiful to be touched by sadness. Jane Harris lives in a sparkling home in an oceanfront gated community in Orange County. It can never be broken, even in death.” – The Favorite Daughter “That’s the power of the bond between mothers and daughters.
