Synopsis

Everyone in Emlyn Springs, Nebraska, knows the story of Aneira Hope Jones, the woman swallowed up by a tornado, and of the painful legacy bestowed upon her children. Larken, Gaelan, and Bonnie have grown into adulthood enshrouded in town myth and unresolved grief, longing for closure and for release from their identities as motherless children. Both knowingly and unknowingly, the Jones siblings have condemned themselves to the task of interpreting and paying homage to their mothers life; thus, they have never claimed their own. This eagerly anticipated second novel from the author of the national bestseller Broken for You will delight readers with its warmth, humor, and wisdom.
