This book is about what happens when the machinery of a carefully orchestrated life begins to malfunction – not catastrophically, but in small, human ways that can't be fixed with a publicist's statement or a well-timed donation. It's about a woman who has chosen security over authenticity, who has learned to treat her own feelings as liabilities, and who is about to discover that some collisions can't be avoided, no matter how perfectly you've planned your route.

In the days leading up to her wedding, as the press circulates around her family and old relationships resurface, Dinah will face a question she's spent years avoiding: What if the life you've built isn't the life you actually want?
