Pear Blossom, Oregon is a close-knit small town. Its history is interesting for a number of reasons, but one happening, in particular, remains notable. Over twenty years ago the three McKee sisters found an infant girl who had been left on a bridge. No one claimed her, and there were no clues as to who was responsible or why she was left there. She was adopted by the McKee family and named Ruby. Of course, she wondered about her origins, but she accepted that she might never know. She is a celebrity and a mascot of sorts. Now, after time away, she returns home to reconnect with her family. Perhaps the timing was right, or maybe it was meeting the town's supposed villain that made her seriously question her background.
While this is a story about family it also a story about perceptions, identity, and truth. Expertly presented are the three-dimensional four sisters. Once Ruby became part of the family, the other three daughters had to adjust, and there were issues that followed them into adulthood. Their lives are decidedly different from each other, but one thing is certain: they are sisters, and their bonds are solid. As the story progresses and Ruby gets closer to the truth, the women will need each other in ways they could never have imagined when shocking secrets are revealed.
Nothing about this well-crafted novel is predictable. The author brings readers a touching exploration of a family, and their story is well worth reading. Highly recommended.
