A relationship shaped by time and inheritance

Beginning in senior year of college, Nina Rhodes and Jackson move through changing careers, marriages, and lives split between California and Manhattan. The story spans their adulthood and uses multiple perspectives, including those of their first spouses, to examine how a relationship looks from different vantage points. An impulsive act shifts the course of their lives, while grief, desire, and fractured loyalties connect their personal choices to emotional inheritances across generations. The affluent settings frame a portrait of privilege and pain alongside the possibility of reinvention.

Book overview

Nina Rhodes is the kind of girl you don't hook up with along the way because she's the kind of girl you might want to end up with. Only Jackson doesn't. And maybe she isn't that girl.

 

From senior year in college, we follow their ricochet between coasts, careers, and marriages into adulthood's messy, glittering sprawl. A kaleidoscope of perspectives, includes first husbands and wives who add their spicy takes: a juicy portrait of 'what is'. When one impulsive act shifts the axis of their lives, our heroes are officially screwed. Set against the backdrop of affluent California and Manhattan, The Weight of Sunshine explores emotional inheritances-grief, desire and fractured loyalties and how they reverberate across generations. Fresh, spirited, and richly character-driven, this is a story about privilege, pain, reinvention and the one person we can never quite let go.
