Publisher Description

Buried secrets and past betrayals, old friendships and new beginnings are at the heart of this rich, compelling bestseller from Fern Michaels, one of today’s most popular novelists.

Twenty years after a childhood accident left a permanent shadow over her life, Cady Jordan has returned to her Pennsylvania hometown. Her beloved grandmother Lola, a retired movie star, needs Cady’s care—but soon after arriving at Lola’s lavish estate, it’s clear that the colorful actress will be Cady’s mentor to living life to the fullest. Cady wants nothing more than to come out of her shell, but to do so means resurrecting her lost memories of the day when a foolish stunt ended with a young bully’s death and Cady’s serious injury—a tragedy for which her friends held Cady responsible. They’re adults now—a lawyer, a businessman, a stay-at-home mom. And a police chief: Boomer Ward, whose flaring attraction works on Cady’s guarded heart. Now, Cady must determine who can be trusted as she draws closer to Boomer and confronts those who wish she’d never returned. Old wounds may be healed, but can Cady close a door on her heartache and embrace a bright new life?

"I liked the story telling and characters in this book. You can't help but love her grandmother. Although you know what happened, you can't help but want Cady to find out what happened. It's a pretty clean romance with some pretty funny parts. I'd read it again. "
