Book Overview
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop at Water's End, here is a lush, heart-wrenching novel about the power of memory, the meaning of family, and learning to forgive. Ten years ago, Lena Donohue experienced a wedding-day betrayal so painful that she fled the small town of Watersend, South Carolina, and reinvented herself in New York City. Though now a freelance travel writer, the one place she rarely goes is home--until she learns of her dad's failing health. Returning to Watersend means seeing the sister she has avoided for a decade and the brother who runs the family's Irish pub and has borne the burden of his sisters' rift. While Alzheimer's slowly steals their father's memories, the siblings rush to preserve his life in stories and in photographs. As his secret past brings Lena's own childhood into focus, it sends her on a journey to discover the true meaning of home.

Hard to put down
Published by Susan Kennedy , 2 years ago
So far my favorite Patti Callahan Henry novel. Characters are a rich blend of people you feel you know. A roller coaster of emotions right to the last page.
‘Do not settle for mediocre to avoid pain’.

From love to betrayal to distance and walls. To family and heartache; sharing memories and seeing truths. On to beginnings to finding what is truly home.
I truly enjoyed this book and thank Patti Callahan for sharing it with us all. Keep Writing!
