A family history under threat in Provincetown

The death of their father draws sisters Pia and Jenn Cutter back to Provincetown, where memories of difficult childhood summers become entangled with present-day challenges to their place in his story. The theft of his body and the arrival of a woman claiming to be his only daughter turn a family reckoning into a crime-and-mystery premise. Set on Cape Cod and classified as science fiction, the novel brings questions of identity, family history, and whether to retreat or confront the past into the same unfolding conflict.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in sister-centered stories about family history and strained relationships.
  • Readers drawn to crime-and-mystery premises involving contested identity and a missing body.
  • Readers seeking science fiction set in a Cape Cod community.

Book overview

Sisters Pia and Jenn Cutter are thrust back into the chaos of their turbulent childhood by the death of their father, a Cape Cod artist and lifelong drinker old enough to be their grandfather.

 

They had spent their childhood summers in Provincetown, a seaside hamlet perched on the weather-beaten tip of Cape Cod. But now, out of nowhere, town locals begin attempting to erase them from their father's life and their shared history. Someone then steals their father's corpse, and a mysterious stranger surfaces, claiming to be the real and only daughter of the old artist. Who the hell's this "daughter"? The sisters feel on the edge of an ancient cliff, facing an impossible choice: Do they protect themselves from the old craziness, or drop anchor and fight?

 

Pia and Jenn have no idea how deeply twisted are the crimes against them.
