Raised on her father's South Carolina plantation, Callie Parker wanted for nothing, and now she is about to marry wealthy local scion Wyn Archer. But her wedding wouldn't be complete without the three people she grew up with under the sheltering branches of the angel oaks at Parker Manor. There's Bode Jessup, part brother and part idol, who has become a wildly attractive man. Next is Brie Canfield, Callie's freckle-faced playmate, now an FBI agent with a life of her own. Last is shy waif Sela Bronson, whose only reason for returning to Parker Manor is to escape an unhappy marriage. As Callie's childhood companions gather to relive the charmed years they spent together, they discover how little they know of their beloved yesterday...and how one woman's darkest secret can tear them apart.

"Found this book on the side of the road on a few days before collection day and what an excellent find it was, a very good read you loved the characters and also hated them as well and there was a lot of suprises and twists I reccomend it =) "
— Ashleigh (5 out of 5 stars)
" I listened to the audio version of this book and had to force myself to complete it. Too much whining and complaining for me. The plot wasn't bad but it moved so slowly that I didn't care about the outcome. I'll probably never pick up another Fern Michaels book. "
— Glenajo, 2/15/2011" This was a good book - didn't want to stop reading. "
— Kathy, 10/25/2010" This book made me cry at least 3 times. The ultimate revelation really surprised me. It proves that "family" is not necessarily something you are born to. "
— Denise, 8/22/2010" I really enjoyed this book. I wish it could have gone on and on. "
— Bonnie, 2/25/2010" ok. ok story line interesting enough to keep going - but lacked something i cant put my finger on. "
— Ruth, 1/10/2010" A little slow but amazing in the end. <br/>I never saw the twist coming "
— Rebekah, 11/12/2009" Thinking of you, Nancy, as this takes place in SC. <br/> <br/>It dragged on and on. Very intertwined story line. And an abrupt very unsatisfactory ending. "
— Lesley, 4/23/2009" Michaels weaves her characters together well, although I sometimes didn't like the ones I think she may have intended me to like. The story is compelling and keeps your interest to the last word. "
— Janet, 11/3/2008" Four kids grow up together on a plantation in South Carolina. Now they come together as adults and find out things they never knew about each other, things that could change their lives. Intriguing! "
