Linda, a divorced mom, moves her two daughters Lindsay and Gracie from Montclair, New Jersey back home to Shem Creek. She reconnects with her sister, Mimi, meets new friends and, of course, bumps into the man of her dreams. Scenes of Shem Creek are so beautiful and enjoyable, it made me want to move there immediately.
With chapters alternating between different characters, this book reads like a really great blog. It’s a great tale about the relationships between sisters. Frank describes the love, jealousy, compassion and annoyance of sisterhood perfectly. In fact, the relationships between mothers and daughters, sisters, and friends were so complex and interesting that I was disappointed that the romantic plotline was just fine. Of course, the final scenes had Fresca and me both giggling and sighing.
