But are they really? His wife, Alexa, has been offered a good teaching job she canât take because the Army may move the family at any time. Her daughter Isabel hates her boarding schoolâthe only good educational option for Army familiesâand starts running away.

Soon everyone who knows the Rileys is trying to help them save their marriage, but itâs up to Alexa to decide if she can sacrifice her needs and those of her family to support Danâs commitment to his work.
With her trademark intelligence and grace, Joanna Trollope illuminates the complexities of modern life in this story of a family striving to balance duty and ambition.
