From the back cover

At a promotion party, Lydia Stevenson draws a dare to call the first person in her contacts and say she has lost her job. Her mother, Stella Stevenson, and father, Julian Stevenson, respond with contempt, warning her not to come home and demanding money for household expenses. Her younger sister, Iris Stevenson, had quit her own job days earlier and been rewarded with a luxury apartment paid for in full.

Lydia is in fact about to become general manager of the branch, yet she says nothing. The contrast with Iris, whose jobs Lydia found and subsidised, and with the 150,000 dollars her parents refused her six years ago, cuts deep. Overhearing Stella call her useless and unwanted, she stands in the doorway of a house that has never been her safe place.

She could reveal the truth and restore the old warmth, but she does not move.
