Publisher's summary

A bittersweet inheritance reunites three estranged sisters in a novel of family, trust, and forgiveness from New York Times bestselling 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 they’d all spend at their grandmother’s rustic lakeside resort in north Texas. But secrets started building, and ten years have passed since they’ve 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’ve 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.

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

So good !!!!!

I wasn't sure at first if I would like this book. But, I love a good story that is, yes fiction, but, so much about real life. I felt that I was living their life with them. It became very personal for me. I felt their pain and triumphs. Thank you so much for this book. It was much more than was expected.

Who's who

I had a hard time with the narrator. I couldn't tell the difference between an aging black men and a young white guy with a Southern accent. It seems like all of the men sounded the same to me and sometimes it was hard to tell who was talking. The story was good, but not earth shattering.

A Little too sweet

This is a typical beach read. it was an easy listen and I liked all the characters. I appreciate it when an author wraps up a book a ties up loose ends. However the ending to this book was sickly sweet. I don't want to give anything away but my feminist streak cam out and I was somewhat offended.
