Review by Hope
Smith
Single mom Abby has returned to the small town of Hartley-by-the-Sea,
a Lake District in England, after her fiancé’s untimely death. There Abby and her son move in with her
grandmother to help run the family café.
After being raised by her grandmother, and having no contact
with her mother since she was two, Abby’s mother, Laura, shows up unexpectedly
after twenty years away in hopes of reconciling with her family. But if she’s expecting to be welcomed back with
open arms, she’ll be sorely disappointed.
But despite Abby’s reluctance to allow her mother back into her heart
and life, they slowly forge forward at rebuilding their relationship. Despite the pain and hurt that Abby has held
like a shield for so many years, will she be able to put the past behind her
and learn to forgive her mom?
This was a well-written story about family pain and learning
to let go of the hurt to allow for healing.
Although it’s the third book in the series, it can easily be read as a
stand-alone without any confusion or feeling like you’re missing anything.
