In 2004, Juliette Marker, a white college freshman, and Noah King, a Black high school senior, are two
lonely souls who enter each other\u2019s orbit, forge a connection, and, after a chance meeting, go home
together.
Twelve years later, Noah has done the impossible and made it in Hollywood. His first film is about to be
released, and he and his beloved wife Jesse, a successful writer herself, have just had a baby. Meanwhile,
Juliette\u2019s best friend Annie is back in LA for the first time in more than a decade.
As teenagers, Juliette and Annie shared an enviable bond, memorialized by Juliette\u2019s mother, Margot, a
renowned photographer. When Annie returns to the Topanga Canyon home where they spent their idyllic
adolescence, she makes a startling discovery about Juliette that will threaten to blow up the life Noah has
struggled to build.
Spanning decades, from LA to Chicago, and told through Annie, Juliette, Noah, and Jesse\u2019s perspectives,
this powerful, provocative novel delves into one life-changing night and the complex lives and
relationships of those affected by it, exploring how race, artistic ambition, and grief expose
different versions of the same story.
