When Clare Layton's actress mother leaves her husband and two small daughters to go off with her lover, their picture-perfect Hollywood family is shattered. Gone are the star-studded parties, the photo-op outings to Palm Springs. Father and daughters are left to cope and hang on, but finally Clare's older sister, Louise, also drifts away. Years pass without a word or sighting, and then Louise mysteriously reappears, hoping to enlist Clare in a medical quest to save her oldest, evangelical teenage son. Louise's reappearance plunges Clare back into her childhood in the early 60s and into a reckoning with her current role as single career woman and devoted mistress to a married politico. As Clare works toward a sense of peace and personal redemption, the novel examines religion and politics, forgiveness and reconciliation, and the deep tethers between long-estranged sisters trying to find their way back.","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51107824304433,"sku":"9781401307486","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/2420\/2801\/files\/O_4836cc8f-2add-4040-8a05-59797f178719.jpg?v=1759498247","url":"https:\/\/pageaday.com\/products\/as-if-love-were-enough-9781401307486","provider":"Page-A-Day","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
