Three women are connected by secrets and lies that go back twenty-five years.
Fashion icon Ivy Rose would do anything to keep her fans from discovering her shameful secret. She still feels nearly unbearable guilt for having caused a tragic accident when she was younger. Now Ivy's secrecy and angst may have driven her beloved husband Geoffrey into the arms of another woman.
Control freak Teddy Cohen knows Ivy's secret-and she has a devastating one of her own. When she learns her journalist daughter interviewed "the great" Ivy Rose, Teddy suffers a massive stroke. Will Teddy survive to reveal how she and Ivy are connected? Will she seal Ivy's fate with what she knows about her?
Yoga teacher Anala mistakes vengeance for enlightenment. After her older lover Geoffrey dies, Anala engages his widow, Ivy, in a twisted game of cat-and-mouse.
Three women are about to learn the accident of being human is no accident at all.
Fans of Liane Moriarty will love the way the seemingly unrelated pieces of this puzzle come together in a final stunning moment. The Accident of Being Human is a powerful debut novel about the agonizing choices we make to protect the people we love.
