About the book:
Decades of loss, an unsolved mystery, and a rift spanning three generations
Hazel DeFord is a woman haunted by her past. While berry picking in a blackberry thicket in 1943, ten-year old Hazel momentarily turns her back on her three-year old sister Maggie and the young girl disappears.
Almost seventy years later, the mystery remains unsolved and the secret guilt Hazel carries has alienated her from her daughter Diane, who can't understand her mother's overprotectiveness and near paranoia. While Diane resents her mother's inexplicable eccentricities, her daughter Meghan-a cold case agent-cherishes her grandmother's lavish attention and affection.
When a traffic accident forces Meghan to take a six-week leave-of-absence to recover, all three generations of DeFord women find themselves unexpectedly under the same roof. Meghan knows she will have to act as a mediator between the two headstrong and contentious women. But when they uncover Hazel's painful secret, will Meghan also be able to use her investigative prowess to solve the family mystery and help both women recover all that's been lost?
My Review
A book about three generations, grandmother, daughter and granddaughter and the relationship between each one and how something that happened when Hazel (the grandmother) was young could affect the each generation. A book I enjoyed very much from start to finish. Very inspirational. Maggie is the long lost sister of Hazel and 70 years later they are trying to find her. Love the characters, the dogs are a special addition to the story. I don’t believe there was anything I did not like about the book. I received the book from the publisher thru NetGalley.
