Description
She held the letter that she had found in the garden, and noticed the distinctive curls of her father's handwriting etched on the worn paper. Her life had already been turned upside down by one family secret, would his last words force her to leave her childhood home forever?
When Caroline left Lake Summers thirty years ago, she thought she'd never go back to the place where she lost her parents. But when she finds out that the town's lily garden lovingly built by her mother is going to be destroyed, she knows she must return from Chicago to save it.
Caroline and her daughter Lee are welcomed home by the warm smile of her mother's best friend Maxine, and piles of pancakes at her cozy little restaurant in town. And Caroline soon learns that she isn't the only person invested in saving her mother's legacy, when she meets handsome historian Aaron. As she gets to know him, strolling along the sparkling lakeshore, she can't imagine anywhere else she'd rather be.
But then Caroline learns a terrible secret about the day her mother died. And soon the real reason Aaron is in Lake Summers comes to light. Will the truth about the people she loves force her to give up a future with Aaron, and the beautiful town that has always been in her heart?
An utterly uplifting and heart-warming story about forgiveness and family. Perfect for fans of Carolyn Brown, Debbie Macomber and Mary Alice Monroe.
