Laney Brooks seems to have the perfect suburban life: a loving husband, two children, and a beautiful home. Behind that carefully maintained appearance, however, she struggles with depression, addiction, and increasingly destructive behavior. As her marriage and family begin to unravel, Laney makes a desperate attempt to reclaim her life. I Smile Back is an unflinching literary novel about emotional suffering, addiction, and the complicated struggle to hold on to the people we love.
