Publisher Description

When a woman’s whole life falls apart, she finds refuge in the home she left behind in this touching novel in the Tending Roses series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Friends and Before We Were Yours.

Karen Sommerfield has been hiding from the big questions of her life—the emotional distance in her marriage, her inability to have children, and her bout with cancer. Getting lost in her high-powered career provides the sense of purpose she yearns for. Until the day she’s downsized out of her job and the doctor tells her the cancer may be back. It’s a double blow that would send anyone reeling.

It sends Karen to Grandma Rose’s old farm, where her sister has made a seemingly perfect life. Opening herself to the unexpected, Karen finds a lonely child in need of nurturing and insights into her family’s past. In the quiet of the Missouri Ozarks, where the sycamore leaves whisper their soft, secret language, she begins to discover answers—and a joy to make her life complete.

A book about family.

Families are so complicated. They are worth the effort to bring them back together. The love is there, even if it can't be seen for years.

Beautiful Story….

Well-told and well-written, I just love Lisa Wingate's stories.

People with challenging situations and finding happiness through the love and support of their friends, families and community makes for meaningful reading.

Thank you for writing such a relatable story, with such a rich and hopeful ending ♥️
