Miranda's stepfather - who has just revealed to her mother that he's been having an affair--starts dropping cryptic hints about her biological father. On top of all that, Miranda is arrested again, this time for drunk driving. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With everything she thought she knew upended, Miranda must face the truth about her mother, herself, and her future marriage. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e FRAN HAWTHORNE spent three-plus decades writing award-winning nonfiction, including eight books, before returning to her childhood love: writing fiction.
