Meredith and Nina spent their whole lives without really knowing their mother Anya. Any attempts they tried to make to get close to her were rebuffed, so they gave up trying and began to believe that maybe their mother just didn't really care about them very much. When their father dies though he makes them promise to try to get to know their mother, and says that now that he will be gone their mother needs them. The story follows Meredith, Nina, and Anya as they get to know one another and grow closer and transition into different places in their individual lives. I really really enjoyed this book. This is the second book by Kristin Hannah that I read and I have been equally impressed by both. She really can tell a story because I was drawn in from start to finish. I even enjoyed the happy ending which I know I complained about but here it just felt like it flowed to that point naturally. I really want to read more from her.
