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.
