About this ebook
From the author of Me & Emma comes a dazzling novel of two unforgettable families bound together by their deepest secrets and haunted pasts—perfect for fans of The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes and The Book of Bright Ideas.
Nine-year-old Carrie Parker and her mother, Libby, are making a fresh start in the small town of Hartsville, North Carolina, ready to put their turbulent past behind them. Violence has shattered their family and left Libby nearly unable to cope. And while Carrie once took comfort in her beloved sister, Emma, her mother has now forbidden even the mention of her name.
When Carrie meets Ruth, Honor, and Cricket Chaplin, these three generations of warmhearted women seem to have the loving home Carrie has always dreamed of. But as Carrie and Cricket become fast friends, neither can escape the pull of their families’ secrets—and uncovering the truth will transform the Chaplins and the Parkers forever.

The summary peaked my interest and every free moment (and some extra) I have had has been reading this book. It sheds light on issues we have in society and how people who take a chance on and open their hearts to others can be rewarding.

The preview to start reading is a bunch of jumbled words Kind of hard to see if you want to buy the rest.

I read this book in one sitting. Just could not put it down. My mother was mentally ill. It was the saddest and yet one of the most joyous novels. Keep the kleenex close by.
