Synopsis
From the New York Times best-selling author of More Than Friends and Suddenly comes this touching novel of the many facets and the enduring power of love, the tenadous strength of family, and the choices we make that determine who we are. With a voice as true as our own, Barbara Delinsky tells the story of the St. Clair sisters, whose wealthy, social-climbing mother, Virginia, had little time-and even less feeling-for them. Now adults, the three women have spent their lives trying to escape Virginia's legacy. Caroline, a tough lawyer, has sacrificed much to gain the control she craves above all else. Annette finds great happiness in showering her husband and five children with the kind of love she herself never received. Leah's search for love has led to a life that is somehow filled with nonstop activity and empty at the same time. And while the sisters consider themselves happy, each has lost a part of herself she doesn't even miss.. .one for which the soul aches nonetheless. Then the letters come. It seems that Virginia has a favor to ask of her daughters. She wants them to help her get settled into Star's End, her magnificent new house on the peaceful, wind-blown coast of Maine. We haven't been close, she writes. I'd like to try to rectify that. It would be nice to spend time together. We might talk. Though their first reaction is to turn her down, each of the sisters ultimately decides to go.. .to give to Virginia, for perhaps the last time, that which she asks of them. But it is Virginia who gives to her daughters For amid the glorious beauty of a New England summer, Caroline, Annette, and Leah find answers to questions that have troubled them for years, insights into the men in their lives, and new truths that will stay with them forever.
