The Atlas of Untold Stories
Edie and her adult daughters, Chloe and Lauren, embark on a nine-day road trip built around literary landmarks and the books that have shaped their family. What should be a book lover's adventure quickly exposes distance between the women, including career disappointments, old resentments, and truths they have avoided discussing. Each stop gives them another chance to understand the stories they have told about one another and decide whether those stories can be revised. This contemporary women's fiction novel celebrates books while exploring mother-daughter relationships, reconciliation, faith, and the difficult work of becoming close again.
