BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Three women—two sisters and their aunt—and the cliff house on the northern California coast that served as a beacon to them all…

After the death of their mother, sisters Daisy and Beatriz Davenport found a home with their aunt Stella in the beautiful and welcoming town of Cape Sanctuary. They never knew all the dreams that Stella sacrificed to ensure they had everything they’d ever need. Now, with Daisy and Bea grown, it’s time for Stella to reveal the secret she’s been keeping from them—a secret that will change their family forever.

Bea thought she’d sown all her wild oats when she got pregnant far too young. The marriage that followed was rocky and not destined to last, but it gave Bea her wonderful, mature, now eleven-year-old daughter, Marisol. But just as she’s beginning to pursue a new love with an old friend, Bea’s ex-husband resurfaces and turns their lives completely upside down.

Then there’s Daisy—sensible, rational, financially prudent Daisy. She’s never taken a risk in her life—until she meets a man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about life, love and the power of taking chances.

In this heartwarming story, Stella, Bea and Daisy will discover that the path to true happiness is filled with twists and turns, but love always leads them back home.

REVIEW:
WOW this is a heart wrenching story. Not because of anything happening but the emotions that each woman and their relationships with men and each other produces.

There is Bea and Daisy who lived with their aunt, Stella, after their mom died and then went into foster care for a bit. I really enjoyed the foster care aspect of this story. As someone who took my best friends son in when his dad died I felt so much of what Stella felt and know the feelings that Bea and Daisy feel. I also like that the story doesn’t put the foster care system in a horrible light.

But I also enjoy the relationship the women have together. There is so much in their hearts and in the past that they have to deal with and not get over but move on from. So when the men comes into the lives they begin to open their hearts up even more.

I enjoyed the background characters and found myself interested in all three women and their romance.

Yet another incredible story from Thayne!
