This was a very interesting book. Part of the story revolves around a mystery. Octavia Frost is a best-selling author. She has been estranged from her son, Milo, for several years (his call, not hers). On her way to deliver a manuscript Octavia sees headlines that will rock her world. Milo has been arrested for the murder of his live-in girlfriend. She flies to California to support Milo, if he will let her. There is also another mystery running through the book - what happened when Octavia's daughter and husband died.
But the part of the book I liked best was the manuscript that Octavia was delivering that day. It was a book made up of the final chapters to all of the books she had written. And in each case she has rewritten the ending. In part she does it to change what happens to her characters. But the other reason was to take away any part of her personal life that had crept into those books. Parkhurst did a great job of writing those chapters - in fact I wanted to read those books! Too bad they don't exist!
