To face the future,
Returning to her childhood home in the golden hills of Northern
California means regret and pain for Karla Esterbrook. Yet she can't
refuse when her ailing grandmother, Anna, asks her to help settle her
affairs. After all, Anna raised Karla and her younger sisters after
their parents' death twenty years before. But from the beginning a
powerful clash of wills separated Karla and her grandmother, leaving
them both bitter and angry.
A woman must let go of the past
Little does Karla know that a very determined Anna will do everything in
her power to bridge the chasm between them--including helping a
charismatic veterinarian out to win her granddaughter for himself. But
can the past he healed? For Karla, opening her heart could lead to more
hurt...or to love and reconciliation--and a passion of which she'd only
dreamed.
In the tradition of Barbara Delinksy comes this poignant, moving story
of the bonds of family, the strength pf love, and the power of
forgiveness.
