BOOK SYNOPSIS:
TWO SISTERS MUST LEARN FROM EACH OTHER’S STRENGTHS AND TRUST IN THE REDEEMING POWER OF LOVE IN A TOUCHING NEW NOVEL FROM NUMBER ONE ‘NEW YORK TIMES’ BEST-SELLING AUTHOR DEBBIE MACOMBER.

The Lake sisters are perfect opposites. After their mother died and their father was lost in grief, Willa had no choice but to raise her sister, Harper, and their brother, Lucas. Then, as an adult, she put her own life on hold to nurse Harper through a terrifying illness, Now that Harper is better and the sisters are living as roommates, Willa has realized her dream of running her own bakery and coffee shop, bringing her special brand of caretaker to the whole Oceanside community.

Harper, on the other hand, is always on the go. Overcoming a terrible illness has given her a new lease on life, and she does not intend to waste it. When Harper announces her plan to summit Mount Rainier, Willa fears she may be pushing herself too far. Harper, for her part, urges Willa to stop worrying and do something outside of her comfort zone – like taking a chance on love with a handsome new customer.

Sean O’Malley is as charming as he is intriguing – a freelance photographer whose assignments take him to the ends of the earth. Soon Willa’s falling for him in a way that is both exciting and terrifying. But life has taught Willa to hedge her bets, and she wonders whether the potential heartache is worth the risk.

Life has more challenges in store for them all. But both sisters will discover that even in the darkest moments, family is everything.

REVIEW:
Can you really go wrong with a Debbie Macomber novel? Simply put… No!

This book has more emotion than I could stand. And yet I wanted more. The end is a bit more abrupt than I would have liked but the story is such a roller coaster of emotions.

If you have someone (anyone) who is sick that you have walked through the sickness with them you will be more sensitive to this book than others. And when you have a family even if you are not that close anymore, at a time like this they learn that family is more important than anything.

What a story but have a box of tissues near!
