Vairy may write love songs to pay the rent, but she's spent years keeping men and her heart safely apart.
Nashville singer-songwriter, Vairy Blackwell returns home for her brother's Black Friday wedding, where her ex is the best man and the woman who almost destroyed her family is staying in her childhood bedroom.
Vairy quickly realizes she has become an outsider in her own family. As the week unfolds and family conflicts build to a crescendo, Vairy cannot contain her sharp tongue. When she accidentally implodes the wedding, she may have sealed her fate as the Blackwell black sheep.
Abby Bevin, the eighteen-year-old daughter to Vairy's ex, is hoping this wedding will be an excellent opportunity to make her crush of four years finally see her as a grown woman worthy of his attention. Rose Jackson, best friend to the late Blackwell Matriarch, Betty Blackwell, is forced to reveal the truth behind her husband's disappearance over fifty years ago.
Written from three women's perspectives, the wedding week proves to be a reflection on love, belonging, and the meaning of family. Will Abby remain brave enough to fight for her love despite the mess her parents made of theirs? Will Rose lose everything after decades of living quietly beneath the radar?
To salvage her brother's wedding and climb back into the family tree, Vairy must face the family she's neglected and the man who still has her heart. Can she find the right chords to heal old wounds, or has she burned every bridge back home?
For readers who loved the chaos of The Wedding People by Alison Espach and Hannah McKinnon's tangled family secrets in The Darlings.
