One secret. Two best friends. Three decades of silence.

Lucy lives large and takes risks, conquering life's problems with breathtaking mastery--and a little help from her lifelong friend Joanne. All is well until a drama resurfaces after almost 30 years. Suddenly, Lucy's life twists in a heartbeat.

When her nemesis calls unexpectedly about a situation that only she can solve, Lucy learns she can redeem her past mistake by saving someone she's desperate to help. Yet doing so would expose the adoption secret she's hidden from her family.

Worse, she'd also be helping the very person who started the whole mess. Torn between the urge to get even or right a wrong, Lucy stalls in a haze of indecision because either way, she loses.

With tension rising and time running out, Lucy must dig deep into her soul to decide: Will pride and the need for revenge win out? Or will she do the right thing and risk losing the love of her family when her secret is revealed?

Set in Halifax, Nova Scotia, this story follows two best friends in their early fifties as they embark on a life-altering journey to Paris, where Lucy reconciles her past, and Joanne faces an uncertain future. With no roadmap, they wrestle with tough life questions about love, truth and family, and together, stumble towards the meaning of life.

"Layla" by Colleen Hoover for $7.19
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover comes a novel that explores life after tragedy and the enduring spirit of love. | Learn more

Editorial Reviews

Review

I could have written "love it" on every single page for the real dialogue, "Gina witticisms", turns of phrases and clever metaphors characterizing the relationship best friends Lucy and Joanne share. Women will recognize themselves in this story -- and the potential to find freedom in their own moments of truth.
--Kelly Hennessey, Creative Non-Fiction Writer

The issues Gina Brown touches on in her novel give the story its weight and engage the reader, while the light-hearted exhanges between Lucy and her best friend provide welcome moments of humour. Expect to be carried along by the author's brisk pacing and snappy dialogue! --Elizabeth Peirce, APMA Best Atlantic-Published Book Award winner (Grow Organic)

From the streets of Halifax, Nova Scotia to the cafes of Paris, this book took me on an exquisite journey. As the author writes, "The McGee family has so many skeletons, we need a walk-in closet!" The author's ability to dance around these secrets and withhold the revelations means that I, the reader, couldn't wait to turn the next page. A great summer read.... all year long!-- Sheila Kelly, Author, Speaker and Spiritual Intelligence Coach

    What a walk down memory lane this book took me on. I lived in Halifax from 73 to 86 and you nailed all the wonderful and crazy ups and downs that I lived while navigating those years, before leaving when I was 33. So rich and well written that I will be reading again and again. Thank you Gina !

    Reviewed in Canada on July 11, 2021
    I finished this book quickly - I didn't want to put it down. Gina created great characters and a unique story line, with lots of little plot twists. It's a good read anywhere - the beach, before bed or curled up with a cup of tea. I loved all the Halifax and Dartmouth references!
