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. Rumer and Isak have both
known recent heartache, while Beryl has given up hope of
marriage. But 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. . .
