About this audiobook
She built her life the way she designed interiors: composed, deliberate, controlled. When her younger sister dies of a second cancer she hid from everyone, the New York designer becomes guardian to a fourteen-year-old boy who trusts no adult’s promises and a two-year-old girl who still calls for her mother at night. On the Nova Scotia coast, they begin to know one another. But while she is offline, a buried contract clause lets her biggest client destroy the firm she spent twenty years building.
As her old life gives way, the people around her come into focus: a best friend who keeps her marriage by choosing not to know, a university friend who never told the father his daughter existed, a man on the coast who believes distance protects others.
Through contrasting psychological portraits and unexpected comedy, After the Younger One explores the decisions that shape our lives, and how they change as we do. For readers of Hello Beautiful, Tom Lake, and A Gentleman in Moscow.
