NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An inspiring standalone novel about the enduring bond between sisters, the power of forgiveness, and a second chance at love.Growing up, Cassie Carter and her sisters, Karen and Nichole, were incredibly close-until one fateful event drove them apart. After high school, Cassie ran away from home to marry the wrong man, throwing away a college scholarship and breaking her parents hearts. To make matters worse, Cassie had always been their fathers favorite-a sentiment that weighed heavily on her sisters and made Cassies actions even harder to bear.Now thirty-one, Cassie is back in Washington, living in Seattle with her daughter and hoping to leave her past behind. After ending a difficult marriage, Cassie is back on her own two feet, the pieces of her life slowly but surely coming together. Despite the strides Cassies made, she hasnt been able to make peace with her sisters. Karen, the oldest, is a busy wife and mother, balancing her career with raising her two children. And Nichole, the youngest, is a stay-at-home mom whose husband indulges her every whim. Then one day, Cassie receives a letter from Karen, offering what Cassie thinks may be a chance to reconcile.
