Descripción editorial
“A gripping story of three sisters, of love lost and found and a family’s journey from grief to triumph” from the New York Times bestselling author (Debbie Macomber).
Losing her father on the night she was born could have torn Beryl Graham’s family apart. Instead, it knitted them together. Under their mother’s steady guidance, Beryl and her older sisters, Isak and Rumer, shared a childhood filled with happiness. But now Mia Graham has passed away after battling Alzheimer’s, and her three daughters return to their New Hampshire home to say goodbye.
Swept up in memories and funeral preparations, the sisters catch up on each other’s lives. Surprising revelations abound, especially when they uncover Mia’s handwritten memoir. In it are secrets they never guessed at—clandestine romance, passionate dreams, joy and guilt. And as Beryl, Rumer, and Isak face a future without her, they realize it’s never too late to heed a mother’s lessons—about taking chances, keeping faith, and loving in spite of the risks . . .
“Nostalgic and tender . . . summons the pain of loss, the balm of sisterhood, and the unbreakable bonds of family that help us survive both.”—Marie Bostwick, New York Times bestselling author

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Rossiter's latest novel (after Words Get in the Way), 44-year-old Beryl Graham has been looking after her mother Mia, who is slowly deteriorating from Alzheimer's disease. After Mia's death, Ber-yl's sisters Isak and Rumer return home to New Hampshire to help with the funeral arrangements and the sale of Mia's home. Each sister must deal with her own issues as they prepare for the burial: Isak no longer feels the spark in her marriage and believes her husband may be cheating; Rumer has sepa-rated from her husband; and Beryl is attracted to Micah Coleman, but fears he has not yet gotten over his deceased wife. Rossiter pays particular attention to detailing quotidian activities, such as the sisters eating their meals or sorting through Mia's belongings. The story starts to generate momentum when papers are found chronicling Mia's secret relationship with a well-known artist, forcing the sisters to realize their mother was not the person they thought her to be. Rossiter's patient, deliberate pacing makes this one a perfect bedtime read.
