She's spent her life holding everything - and everyone - together. But she's done being perfect.

Now it's time to be herself.

Dol Westward has always been the dependable one - the steady hand, the peacekeeper, the fixer. Especially when it comes to her unpredictable mother, Marigold. But after years of putting everyone else first, she's starting to wonder what's left for her.

When life begins to fray around the edges, Dol realises she's been chasing an idea of perfection that was never really hers. Old habits, old expectations - they're hard to break. But maybe imperfection is the only place she can finally feel free...

A story about family, identity, and the messy truth of finding yourself - from the beloved author who always writes real life, honestly told.
