Tell all the truth but tell it slant. Everyone in Phoebe Ferris's life tells a different version of the truth. Her mother, Meg, ex-rock star and professional question-evader, shares only the end of the story?the post-fame calm that Phoebe's always known. Her sister, Luna, indie-rock darling of Brooklyn, preaches a stormy truth of her own making, selectively ignoring the facts she doesn't like. And her father, Kieran, the cofounder of Meg's beloved band, hasn't said anything at all since he stopped calling three years ago. But Phoebe, a budding poet in search of an identity to call her own, is tired of half-truths and vague explanations. When she visits Luna in New York, she's determined to find out how she fits in to this family of storytellers, and to maybe even continue her own tale?the one with the musician boy she's been secretly writing for months. Like the tide being pulled to the shore, Phoebe is drawn back and forth between her magnetic family members and her own fresh start. Phoebe's first adventure flows forward as Meg's romance unspools in reverse, leaving behind only a time-worn, precious pearl of truth about her family's past?and leaving Phoebe to take a leap into the unknown of her own future.
