Doll Parts

Denise Abbott has it all. When she’s not calling the shots and brokering deals at the office, she and her loving husband are supporting their son’s burgeoning music career, chauffeuring their middle daughter to the mall, and cheering for their youngest daughter on the soccer field. The perfect family with the perfect life. The only problem? She doesn’t believe she deserves any of it.

Before settling down in the posh confines of Bel Air, Denise is a fixture on the Los Angeles bar scene and in the beds of her numerous one-night stands. Serious commitments will only serve to distract from the future that’s been mapped out for her at her father’s company. But after a chance encounter with a gorgeous, introspective musician uncovers emotions buried deep within her, she embraces her true self and embarks on a love affair that changes not only her perspective but her entire life.

When he unexpectedly reappears nineteen years after their relationship implodes, Denise is shaken to her core. Consumed by her insecurities, she starts down a path of lies in the name of protecting her family. As reasons blur and lines are crossed, turning back becomes an impossibility. The only way forward is sifting through decades of secrets and admitting the truth, but with the wounds from her painful past still unhealed, Denise learns that the toughest lies to face are the ones she’s told herself.
