“A gripping story of three sisters, of love lost and found and a family’s journey from grief to triumph
” from the New York Times bestselling author (
Debbie Macomber
).
Losing her father on the night she was born could have torn Beryl Graham’s family apart. Instead, it knitted them together. Under their mother’s steady guidance, Beryl and her older sisters, Isak and Rumer, shared a childhood filled with happiness. But now Mia Graham has passed away after battling Alzheimer’s, and her three daughters return to their New Hampshire home to say goodbye.
Swept up in memories and funeral preparations, the sisters catch up on each other’s lives. Surprising revelations abound, especially when they uncover Mia’s handwritten memoir. In it are secrets they never guessed at—clandestine romance, passionate dreams, joy and guilt. And as Beryl, Rumer, and Isak face a future without her, they realize it’s never too late to heed a mother’s lessons—about taking chances, keeping faith, and loving in spite of the risks . . .
“Nostalgic and tender . . . summons the pain of loss, the balm of sisterhood, and the unbreakable bonds of family that help us survive both.”—Marie Bostwick,
New York Times bestselling author
