When teenage Quinn discovers that her unreliable father has stolen something from each of the (many) women with whom he’s had a failed relationship, she decides to return the items her dad took from each woman. That means doing some research, telling some lies, and taking some emotional risks. Contacting an older half-sister she barely remembers, Quinn convinces her to be part of the crazy and touching plan, and Quinn’s younger sister insists on coming along on what turns out to be a memorable, moving, and often hilarious road trip. Quinn’s intent is to return the objects her dad took and get some answers about the person he was and is along the way. What she discovers is a larger truth about love in many forms, from the ever-strengthening bond she’s developing with her sisters, to her mother’s increasingly frantic worry, to the sweetness she discovers with a boy named Jake. Reflective vignettes in the voices of a number of different women—Quinn’s grandmother, her mother, other women in her dad’s life—offer adult perspectives on love and relationships that are often jaded yet still full of truth. But in the end, love with all its imperfections is the lasting lesson. (Age 13 and older)
