Miranda has aimed to please others her entire life.
Growing up in a misogynistic home, she was expected to graduate college with an MRS. degree. When school was done and she remained unattached, she was manipulated into a relationship and then a marriage similar to her childhood home. Her dreams of a happier, independent life were sacrificed in exchange for her family's approval.
Her path in life was aimed toward misery . . . Right up until she met her sister, Matilda.
Like all the Trellis kids, Matthew strives to be a good person.
He spends his days teaching underprivileged children and his nights teaching English as a second language to new immigrants. But, when he reconnects with Miranda years after knowing her in college, he's ready, willing, and able to put his nice-guy tendencies aside to see her free of a loveless marriage.
Contains mature themes.
