From a rising voice in Southern fiction comes the first in a new series about the journeys of three sisters and their mother, exploring a past secret that could redefine their family. Caroline Murphy, a New York native, vowed never to return to Peachtree Bluff, the small Southern town where her childhood summers were spent. After her father's death, she was forced to move back during her senior year, a decision that left lasting scars. Now, following a public and humiliating divorce from a high-society heir, Caroline seeks refuge with her mother, Ansley, bringing along her nine-year-old daughter. Ansley, who has always prioritized her daughters, has built a new life as the owner of a waterfront design business. However, as Caroline, along with her sisters Sloane, whose husband is overseas, and successful actress Emerson, returns home, Ansley fears losing the independence she's gained. Complicating matters, a figure from Ansley's past resurfaces, threatening to reveal a long-held secret. This engaging tale delves into the complexities of familial bonds, infused with Southern charm and emotional depth.
