Book synopsis

It is 1973 and Watergate is on everyone s lips. Lucy Painter is a children's book illustrator and a single mother of two. She leaves New York and the married father of her children to live in a tightly knit Washington neighborhood in the house where she grew up and where she discovered her father s suicide. Lucy hopes for a fresh start, but her life is full of secrets: her children know nothing of her father s death or the identity of their own father. As the new neighbors enter their insular lives, her family s safety and stability become threatened. From a writer whose unique presentation of human experience makes reading a delight (Elizabeth Strout), You Are the Love of My Life is a story of how shame leads to secrets, secrets to lies, and how lies stand in the way of human connection."
