From
the New York Times bestselling author of Beach
Colors and Breakwater Bay comes this
heartwarming story of love, family, and redemption. Two young girls pledged to
be best friends forever. Separated by circumstance and hurt, they are reunited
years later as they struggle to put their differences aside for the sake of a
special little girl—perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Elin Hilderbrand, and
Karen White.
One woman
struggling to hold on to what she has,
One woman
learning to forgive
Their
lives entwined by one little girl.
Sarah Hargreave is anxious to finalize the adoption of
her foster daughter Leila. Once a foster child herself, Sarah longs
to become Leila’s “forever” family and give her all the love and
stability she was denied in her own childhood. When Leila’s biological mother
suddenly reappears and petitions the court for the return of her daughter,
Sarah is terrified she’ll lose the little girl she loves to the drug addicted
mother who abandoned her.
Having grown up in foster care, Ilona Cartwright
fights for the rights of children who have no one to fight for them. But to
Sarah she is Nonie Blanchard, who grew up in the same group foster home as
Sarah. They’d promised to be best friends forever, then Nonie was adopted by a
wealthy family, and Sarah never heard from her again. Sarah still hurts from
the betrayal. But Nonie harbors her own resentment toward the past.
Mistrustful
of each other, the two women form a tenuous alliance to ensure Leila’s future,
but when Leila’s very survival is on the line, they’ll have to come to terms
with their own feelings of hurt and rejection to save the child they both have
come to love.
