Welcome to England’s beautiful Lake District, where a reluctant reunion forges a new bond between a daughter and her wayward mother....
 
Abby Rhodes is just starting to get her life on track. After her fiancé’s unexpected death, she returned with her young son to the small village where she grew up and threw herself into helping her ailing grandmother run the town's beach café. Then one evening, her mother, Laura, shows up in Hartley-by-the-Sea and announces her plan to stay. After twenty years away, she now wants to focus on the future—and has no intention, it seems, of revisiting the painful past.
 
Laura Rhodes has made a lot of mistakes, and many of them concern her daughter. But as Abby gets little glimpses into her mother's life, she begins to realize there are depths to Laura she never knew. Slowly, Abby and Laura start making tentative steps toward each other, only to have life become even more complicated when an unexpected tragedy arises. Together, the two women will discover truths both sad and surprising that draw them closer to a new understanding of what it means to truly forgive someone you love.

      The third volume in Hewitt's "Hartley-by-the-Sea" series (after Rainy Day Sisters and Now and Then Friends), this novel focuses on relationships between mothers and daughters. Abby Rhodes has returned to the small village in England's Lake District where she grew up, and to her grandmother, who raised her. She's brought along her young son, and her plan is to help her grandmother run their family cafe. But into this seemingly perfect setup comes Laura, Abby's estranged mother, who now plans to stay in Hartley-by-the-Sea permanently. Laura is seeking a reconciliation, and after many ups and downs, including death and disasters, this family finds some common ground to stand on to look toward the future. Hewitt is prolific, with over 40 novels published, and it shows in her ability to construct a solid story and maintain related characters across books. While somewhat predictable, the plot here is eventful, and the conclusion is emotionally satisfying. VERDICT This English family saga should appeal to readers of Joanna Trollope or early Jojo Moyes.--Melanie Kindrachuk, Stratford P.L., Ont.
