Jennifer E. Smith is a ray of literary sunshine.”—Jenny Jackson, author of Pineapple Street The four Endicott siblings—Gemma, Connor, Roddy, and Jude—were once inseparable, a bond created by the absence of their dazzling, mercurial mother, who would return for a few weeks each summer to whisk them off on sprawling road trips around the country.

Smith is the bestselling author of more than a dozen books, including The Unsinkable Greta James and the young adult novels The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between, both of which have been adapted for film.
