The Atlas of Untold Stories is classic women’s fiction, the story of three women – on a (literal and symbolic) journey to discover their true selves, rediscover their relationships, and share their secrets.
Lauren Vance is the responsible older daughter who has just lost her job and is scared to tell her family. Chloe is her flaky wannabe-artist younger sister. Edie, their mother, is still living in the shadow of her domineering mother, Moira Mondell.
Chloe is given the opportunity to teach art at a Christian school in Prague, but is too nervous to tell her mother. Instead, Chloe somehow convinces Edie to join her on a impromptu road trip. Lauren later agrees to tag along, which sets up plenty of tension between the sisters and with their mother.
