A heart-stirring novel of family and forgiveness from bestselling
author Ashley Farley.
In her grand home in Charleston, Willa Bellemore raised two girls during
the tumultuous 1970s. One was her daughter, Lady. The other was Lady's
best friend, Nell--adopted after the sudden, heartbreaking death of her
mother, the Bellemores' beloved maid. Willa showered Nell with love and
support, all the while ignoring the disdainful whispers of her
neighbors. After all, they were family. Nell and Lady were sisters at
heart--sisters who vowed to never let anything come between them.
Then, on the night of Lady's sixteenth birthday, something went terribly
wrong, sparking painful secrets and bitter resentments that went
unspoken for three decades.
Now Willa is dying, and Lady and Nell--each with a teenager of her
own--are brought together after all these years. It's Willa's last wish.
The time has come to confront what happened on that fateful night. But
it may take a tragic twist of fate to reconcile the past and come to
terms with the true meaning of family.
