From the next “major voice in Southern fiction” (New York
Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand) comes the
first in an all-new series chronicling the journeys of three
sisters and their mother—and a secret from their past that
has the potential to tear them apart and reshape their very
definition of what it means to be a family.
Caroline Murphy swore she’d never set foot back in the small
Southern town of Peachtree Bluff; she was a New York girl
born and bred and the worst day of her life was when, in the
wake of her father’s death, her mother selfishly forced her
to move—during her senior year of high school, no less—back
to that hick-infested rat trap where she'd spent her
childhood summers. But now that her marriage to a New York
high society heir has fallen apart in a very public, very
embarrassing fashion, a pregnant Caroline decides to escape
the gossipmongers with her nine-year-old daughter and head
home to her mother, Ansley.
Ansley has always put her three daughters first, especially
when she found out that her late husband, despite what he
had always promised, left her with next to nothing. Now the
proud owner of a charming waterfront design business and
finally standing on her own two feet, Ansley welcomes
Caroline and her brood back with open arms. But when her
second daughter Sloane, whose military husband is overseas,
and youngest daughter and successful actress Emerson join
the fray, Ansley begins to feel like the piece of herself
she had finally found might be slipping from her grasp. Even
more discomfiting, when someone from her past reappears in
Ansley's life, the secret she’s harbored from her daughters
their entire lives might finally be forced into the open.
Exploring the powerful bonds between sisters and mothers and
daughters, this engaging novel is filled with Southern
charm, emotional drama, and plenty of heart.
