Publisher Description
For fans of Susan Mallery, Kristan Higgins, or Susan Wiggs, this is a novel for anyone who loves stories about sisters, dogs, and family secrets.
The Sisters Hemingway: they couldn’t be more different…or more alike.
The Hemingway Sisters of Cold River, Missouri are local legends. Raised by a mother obsessed with Ernest Hemingway, they were named after the author’s four wives—Hadley, Pfeiffer, Martha, and Mary. The sisters couldn’t be more different—or more alike. Now they’re back in town, reunited to repair their fractured relationships.
Hadley is the poised, polished wife of a senator.
Pfeiffer is a successful New York book editor.
Martha has skyrocketed to Nashville stardom.
They each have a secret—a marriage on the rocks, a job lost, a stint in rehab…and they haven’t been together in years.
Together, they must stay in their childhood home, faced with a puzzle that may affect all their futures. As they learn the truth of what happened to their mother—and their youngest sister, Mary—they rekindle the bonds they had as children, bonds that have long seemed broken. With the help of neighbors, friends, love interests old and new—and one endearing and determined Basset Hound—the Sisters Hemingway learn that the happiness that has appeared so elusive may be right here at home, waiting to be claimed.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Noblin (Just Fine with Caroline) returns to Cold River, Mo., in this sweet tale of coming home after life goes awry in the big city. The three Hemingway sisters all head home for the funeral of their last living relative, Aunt Bee, with each leading very different lives from the last time they were in Cold River. Hadley is the wife of a senator, Pfeiffer works as a book editor in New York City, and Martha is a famous Nashville country singer fresh (and secretly) out of rehab. After the deaths of their mother and sister in a tornado, the sisters all left Cold River as soon as they came of age, each expecting to never return. In contrast to the stress and pressure of their new lives, the slow pace of Cold River and the easy familiarity of small-town life provide the sisters the opportunity to let their guard down. But when they chance upon a gruesome discovery that upsets what they thought they knew about their family history, they will have to face not only their own demons, but also the late Aunt Bee's. With fun cameos of previously introduced residents of Cold River, Noblin's heartwarming story of the strength of family will please fans and newcomers alike.
