About this ebook
"Masterfully woven . . . The Map of True Places is a gripping quest for truth that kept me reading at the edge of my seat to the very last page." —Lisa Genova, New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice
From Brunonia Barry, the New York Times bestselling author of The Lace Reader, comes an emotionally compelling novel about finding your true place in the world.
A respected Boston psychotherapist, Zee Finch has come a long way from a motherless childhood spent stealing boats. But the actions of a patient throw Zee into emotional chaos and take her back to places she thought she'd left behind.
What starts as a brief visit home to Salem begins a larger journey. Suddenly having to care for her ailing father after his longtime companion moves out, Zee must come to terms with a strained and awkward relationship that has always been marked by half-truths and haunted by the untimely death of her mother. Overwhelmed by her new role, Zee must destroy the existing map of her life and chart a new course—one that will guide her not only into her future but into her past as well.
"An involving, intricately woven story and vivid descriptions of historic Salem." — Booklist
"A lovingly told story with many well-drawn characters." — Publishers Weekly
"Highly readable." — Kirkus Reviews, starred review
