Almost Perfect Life

Many families seem happy from the outside, but what secrets does their past hold? Imagine that you are happily living with your husband, you have two children, a beautiful home, and a beloved job — the picture of an ideal family. This is what Edie and Mac's life looked like. But when a pregnant girl appears at their doorstep, everything can collapse in an instant... For the first time, their entire life is called into question: the role of parents, the reputation of law-abiding members of society, and the very foundations of their marriage. Experiencing upheavals in both family and professional life, each of them must analyze the choices they made long ago and outline new directions for their future. Will Edie and Mac be able to cope together with the consequences of that distant summer? "A complex, gripping, powerful story about uncharted paths and seismic shifts in life that can happen in an instant, and how decisions made in the past affect the future."
