Phoebe Stone has always wanted to stay at the Cornwall Inn in Newport, Rhode Island with her husband, but now he's left her for a colleague at the college where they both teach, so she goes to the Cornwall alone intent on killing herself. Except when she arrives, she finds the hotel taken over by a large wedding party. The bride, Lila, finagles her way into Phoebe's room and begs her not to ruin her wedding day with suicide. Then an emotionally intense encounter in a hot tub changes Phoebe's perspective, and she thinks maybe she can move forward, with honesty. Espach has penned a keenly observed novel about depression, love, and the ways women make themselves small.
