Synopsis

A poignant story of two estranged sisters from the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels.

At twenty Cassie Madison left her hometown of Walton, Georgia, for New York City, where she has reinvented herself—from losing herself in her career to squashing her accent. But one night a single phone call brings back everything she's tried to forget. She hasn't spoken to her sister since Harriet stole Cassie's fiancé and married him. But now Harriet's on the line with news that their father is dying.

As she makes the trip back, the only thing that frightens Cassie more than losing her father is seeing Harriet and the family that should have been hers. But she can't help loving her nephews and nieces any more than she can help feeling at home again in Walton. As she fights a surprising reaction to a forgotten friend, and faces an unexpected threat to the family she'd once left behind, Cassie comes to realize that moving on doesn't always mean moving away from who you are.

The following quote stunned me: "H......more

Goodreads review by Kim

For the most part, the plot was entirely predictable (and seemed like a pretty close cousin to "Sweet Home Alabama"). But it was so beautifully written, that I let the author take me there. Even if I saw what was coming, I still wanted to be swept away into the world that White creates. White does "......more

Goodreads review by Tina

I really enjoy Karen White's writing style. A cute, sometimes funny, sometimes sad story set in a charming small town in Georgia. Cassie Madison left 15 years ago for NYC after her sister eloped with her boyfriend. She comes back to town to visit her ailing father. She begins a journey of bonding wi......more
