Description: Thirty-five years ago
Kathleen fled her home, desperate to cast off weights of poverty and
shame. But an unexpected invitation from her sister unwittingly
draws her back to that sleepy New York town, her own daughter in
tow.
A trip meant to salvage her relationship with her
daughter changes course as Kathleen reexamines her own childhood. But
even more enlightening are the stories of Eleanor, her once-vibrant
mother, and Fiona, the grandmother she barely knew.
The more Kathleen learns, the more answers she seeks
concerning her family’s mysterious past. Yet with the past exposed,
Kathleen is torn between her need to forgive and the urge to forget.

I want to start out by saying that I have just love any
book I've ever read that was written by Lynn Austin. This book was
no different. The author wrote and engaging story about family
secrets and how they affect lives of the entire family for generations
Austin's relaxed style of writing is easy to read and her story is
compelling. The reader is
drawn in to the plot and becomes attached to the characters. More
than entertainment, I found spiritual nourishment in the themes of love,
forgiveness, and fortitude. A must read!
