Synopsis

When Laura Bartone travels back to her home town for a family reunion, she is stunned when her sister reveals shocking and horrible truths about their mother. The revelations at first seem improbable, but as the Bartone family examines the past, the events they reluctantly remember turn out to have deep roots that go back to before any of them were born. As always, Elizabeth Berg explores family bonds with insight and authenticity. This novel is further enriched with a satisfying ending in which the characters are able to move toward forgiveness and mending does indeed take place.
