With Blue's father in prison for selling marijuana and his mother estranged for over the last seven years, Blue is doing well, all considering. As the second addition to the not-so-nuclear Dixon family of Lisa, her 10-year-old son, Dwight, and the retired, Jewish introvert, Av, Blue finds himself living in a much better area of Halifax, Nova Scotia, going to a much better school, and for the first time, actually applying himself academically as he struggles to fit in. All that's soon threatened when Blue's estranged mother returns to take him away.

Once an amusing extrovert with a reputation as a prankster, Mr. Rosen is entering his senior years as a stoic, thirty-year converted introvert who hates change, has little to no interest in people and is more than content to have his wife sit in the navigator's seat of his life. Since becoming a practising introvert, there have been almost no changes in his life, and for the few that there were, his wife had walked him through them, including the recent move to a much smaller home in a lower/middle-class neighbourhood.

Publisher's Summary
The prequel to Herring Cove Road series from the Not-So-Nuclear Family Saga series.
With her mother's death two years before, her father's recent marriage to a woman she doesn't get along with, and then, finding herself engaged to a man she isn't even sure she loves, Ruth Goldman has decided to take a year off to discover what she wants in life.
So, with a small savings, the support from her much older and lifelong best friend (her family's servant), and little knowledge of the common world, Ruth sets off to Cambridge, England. There she will meet some "different" characters, learn what life is like for a single, independent working woman during the Depression, and befriend a young man who makes up for his lack of looks with his wit, amusing idiosyncrasies, and his love for practical jokes.
On her adventure of self-discovery, Ruth will find more than she ever expected. Unbeknownst to her, a secret hides within her family that will eventually enlighten her to herself and to her past and permanently change the direction of her future.
