I really like this book about four sisters who had never met each other or even knew each other existed. They are pulled together by the terms of their father's will. It is interesting to see how their relationships grow and develop over the course of the book. It was also fascinating to see h...
Ridiculously cliche and trite, this book had my teeth on edge for half of the novel. The second half of the novel I spent recovering from whiplash as the author put us (and her characters) through a frantic and hurried pace. And yet, I felt compelled to finish the story, to know for sure how it...
I really enjoyed this one. If you enjoy Elin Hildebrand or Kristen Hannah, you're apt to like this, too. The characters are fleshed out nicely and rang true to me. The plot device was interesting and while predictable at times, the author managed to keep me invested in the sisters and their jo...
"I'm going to miss you. Every minute of every hour..." With those words, Julia's husband stepped into his taxi and was gone. Evan McDonald. Julia's lifeline--and the doting father of her two beautiful children. From the moment she'd first spotted him in high school so many years before, Julia had...

Six-thirty was getting earlier and earlier every morning. It seemed the harder she tried to go to bed by ten, the more reasons there were to stay up. Deanna and Karen were like windup dolls with flapping jaws, always talking about what they’d done that day, where they’d gone, what they’d seen. Li...
She couldn’t decide if it was painful or embarrassing to be so wrong about so many things at the same time. First was the gelato, which Michael had insisted she taste before they did anything else. She sampled several flavors and finally settled on the vanilla bean. As pro...
“I’ve been waiting for you,” he called to her. “Dad said I couldn’t come over until you were up for sure.” She smiled. “Well, I’m up for sure now. What can I do for you?” “Want to go see the fireworks with us?” The question caught her by surprise. She’d forgotten it was the Fourth of July. “I’d l...
It was Jim. “Is she gone?” he asked. “Is who gone?” Karla was so surprised to hear his voice she didn’t immediately connect to the question. “Anna.” “What makes you think—” “I w...
