Publisher Description

Nine months after Catherine Leary’s father, a literature professor, passed away, she still has not fulfilled his final wish: that she scatter his ashes in the Seaboro River in South Carolina. The scene of a childhood tragedy that forced her family to move, Seaboro is the last place Catherine wants to see again. But on the evening of her thirtieth birthday, her father’s young colleague—whom she once dated—pays a visit.…

Forrest Anderson offers a challenge from Catherine’s father: three probing questions that he had planned to put inside a birthday letter to his daughter. But it’s the news that Forrest plans to memorialize her father in an article that includes the family’s time in Seaboro—and the surprising revelation that her father visited there in recent years—that sends Catherine reeling. Hoping to stop Forrest from exposing her family’s secrets, she agrees to accompany him to her once–beloved Lowcountry town—and embarks on a poignant trip into the past…a journey that might lead her into a new life of love, forgiveness, and self-discovery.…

"After reading this book for the first time, I shelved it back with the rest of my books and forgot about it for a while. It was good, yes, but forgetful. Well, maybe not too forgetful, because about a year later I started craving it for no apparent reason. It is obvious that Patti Callahan Henry has a way with words. Her quotes are profound and trill with honesty. I don't know what it was that called me back to this book; probably God, but the second helping was much more gratifying. So much so, that it earned a spot on my favorites list. If you're looking for truth and a resonant theme, you're looking for this book. It's the answers to all of your questions about family, love, and life."

    " This book was a great chick flick book. It kept me interested, but it was a little cheesy. It was also very predictable, and I guessed the ending by the first half of the book. But if you are looking for a quick, easy, and romantic read then you would probably enjoy the book. "

    " A book set in the lowcountry of South Carolina. Kindof reminds me of some of Nicholas Sparks books. It's about a childhood changed by a tragedy and then working through all it when an adult. Love, forgiveness, discovery of one's self... it's thread throughout the book. "
