Turner Travel wears the badge of a family travel agency
well. That is, until Mom and Dad of the clan die within a
couple of months of each other. The agency is left to their
three children, Harriet, James and Austin, as well as
James' wife, Melissa, and a foster daughter, Lara. An old
family friend who has worked for the agency for years is
also part owner.
But without the guiding hands of their parents, the family
becomes embroiled in the secrets that are built into the
threads of all families. Harriet is testing the waters by
leading her first group out since she had a breakdown after
her parents' deaths. She and Lara had not been speaking to
each other, for reasons no one else understands, but
Harriet begins to put that behind her in concern when Lara
disappears. James' wife, Melissa, seems to be running the
agency, making changes the others don't agree with, and
Austin has separated himself from the business, working as
a musician.
The Turner family is unraveling, giving readers a glimpse
of pure emotion in another winner by Ms. McInerney. Well-
developed characters, believable personalities and heart-
clogging emotions spill through the pages of this family
saga. Don't miss a single one of this writer's books!
Harriet Turner knows all about journeys. She’s arranged
hundreds of them for her family’s travel agency. Now
Harriet is joining her adopted sister, Lara, to lead a
group through the Cornish countryside. But when Lara fails
to appear at the airport as planned, Harriet finds herself
in uncharted territory and suddenly alone with a busload of
eccentric seniors. As the tour wends its way through the
picturesque landscape, Harriet must uncover her sister’s
whereabouts and confront long-held family secrets involving
Lara’s arrival 25 years ago...not to mention keeping track
of more baggage – real and emotional – than she ever
expected.
