DIVโโA buried town, long-hidden secrets, more than one canceled wedding. . . . This is a book you canโt wait to share with your friends!โ โCassandra King, INew York TimesThe Same Sweet Girls and Moonrise
On the surface, Olivia has it all: a high-powered career, a loving family, and a handsome fiancรฉ. She even seems to be coming to terms with her mother Janeโs premature death from cancer. But when Janeโs final wish is revealed, Olivia and her elder sister Georgia are mystified. Their mother rarely spoke of her rural Southern hometown, and never went back to visitโso why does she want them to return to Huntley, Georgia, to scatter her ashes?
Janeโs request offers Olivia a temporary escape from the reality sheโs long been denying: she hates her โdreamโ job, and sheโs not really sure she wants to marry her groom-to-be. With her 14-year-old niece, Logan, riding shotgun, she heads South on a summer road trip looking for answers about her mother.
As Olivia gets to know the townโs inhabitants, she begins to peel back the secrets of her motherโs early lifeโtruths that force her to finally question her own future. But when Olivia is confronted with a tragedy and finds an opportunity to right a terrible wrong, will it give her the courage to accept her motherโs pastโand say yes to her own desire to start over?
