Publisher's Note Orphaned as children, Carol and her sisters were raised by their grandmother in a household marked by tension. Now, as her grandmother lies dying, Carol must return to care for her--and confront a difficult past. It's a visit neither woman savors, until they rediscover their memories of Carol's mother and a bond stronger than death.
To face the future, returning to her childhood home in the golden hills of Northern California means regret and pain for Karla Esterbrook. Yet she can't refuse when her ailing grandmother, Anna, asks her to help settle her affairs. After all, Anna raised Karla and her younger sisters after their parents' death twenty years before. But from the beginning a powerful clash of wills separated Karla and her grandmother, leaving them both bitter and angry. A woman must let go of the past. Little does Karla know that a very determined Anna will do everything in her power to bridge the chasm between them--including helping a charismatic veterinarian out to win her granddaughter for himself. But can the past he healed? For Karla, opening her heart could lead to more hurt...or to love and reconciliation--and a passion of which she'd only dreamed. In the tradition of Barbara Delinksy comes this poignant, moving story of the bonds of family, the strength pf love, and the power of forgiveness.
