A bittersweet inheritance reunites three estranged sisters in a novel of family, trust, and forgiveness from author Carolyn Brown.
When they were growing up, Dana, Harper, and Tawny thought of themselves as “sometimes sisters.” They connected only during the summer month that they all would spend at their grandmother’s rustic lakeside resort in north Texas. But secrets started building, and ten years have passed since they have all been together—in fact, they’ve rarely spoken, and it broke their grandmother’s heart.
Now she’s gone, leaving Annie’s Place to her granddaughters—twelve cabins, a small house, a café, a convenience store, and a lot of family memories. It’s where Dana, Harper, and Tawny once shared so many good times. They have returned, sharing only hidden regrets, a guarded mistrust, and haunting guilt. But now, in this healing summer place, the secrets that once drove them apart could bring them back together—especially when they discover that their grandmother may have been hiding something, too.
To overcome the past and find future happiness, these “sometimes sisters” have one more chance to realize they are always family.
