But now that her marriage to a New York high society heir has fallen apart in a very public, very embarrassing fashion, a pregnant Caroline decides to escape the gossipmongers with her nine-year-old daughter and head home to her mother, Ansley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnsley has always put her three daughters first, especially when she found out that her late husband, despite what he had always promised, left her with next to nothing.

But when her second daughter Sloane, whose military husband is overseas, and youngest daughter and successful actress Emerson join the fray, Ansley begins to feel like the piece of herself she had finally found might be slipping from her grasp. Even more discomfiting, when someone from her past reappears in Ansley's life, the secret she's harbored from her daughters their entire lives might finally be forced into the open. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExploring the powerful bonds between sisters and mothers and daughters, this engaging novel is filled with Southern charm, emotional drama, and plenty of heart.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKristy Woodson Harvey is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of nine novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Wedding Veil\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUnder the Southern Sky\u003c\/i\u003e, and The Peachtree Bluff series, which is in development for television with NBC.
