Buried secrets of a teenage trauma and a troubled history are unearthed when a woman is contacted by a man from her past who may — or may not — be who he says he is. Viveca Stevenson has left behind a glittering acting career to raise her son far from Hollywood. When a letter drops from the best boy on Misty, her career-defining film, Viveca’s life starts to unravel. As shechases after truths she does not remember, someone is chasing her. Best Boy is Goodrich Royce’s fourth novel. Reef Road was named one of the best books of the year by Kirkus Reviews, Ruby Falls won the Zibby Award for Best Plot Twist, and Finding Mrs. Ford was hailed by Forbes and “Good Morning America.”
