Publisher's Summary

Two Sisters. One Single Event. A Family Changed Forever.

At the turn of the twentieth century, sisters Emmy and Callie Bullock are living a privileged life as the only daughters of a wealthy Alabama cotton farmer when their well-ordered household gets turned upside down by the arrival of Lily McGee. Arrestingly beautiful, Lily quickly—and innocently—draws the wrong kind of attention. Meanwhile, Callie meets a man who offers her the freedom to abandon social constraints and discover her truest self.

After Lily has a baby, Callie witnesses something she was never meant to see—or did she? Her memory is a haze, just an image in her mind of Emmy standing on a darkened riverbank and cradling Lily's missing baby girl. Only when the sisters are separated does the truth slowly come to light through their letters—including a revelation that will shape the rest of Callie's life.

Bestselling author Valerie Fraser Luesse weaves a complex and suspenseful tale dripping with intrigue, romance, and Southern charm.

4.5 stars - Listened via Audible audiobook.

While this isn’t one of my favourite narrators, it was good. I do wish they had chosen a narrator who sang the musical parts of the book. It would have been such a nice touch. Also, one that fit the age of Callie and Emmie would have been more appropriate.

This is my first book by this author but I’m sure that it won’t be my last. This was an engaging story. I really enjoyed the characters in this book. They felt so real to me. I did find it odd that Callie felt stifled though. She had such a loving family that it seemed out of place somehow. At least for me.

This novel had the ups and downs, celebrations and sorrows, normalcy and mystery, sickness and health that are LIFE. Nobody was perfect. Life can be messy sometimes. I appreciated that realism and honesty.

I felt invested in the story and tried to guess how things would ultimately play out. The ending with the focus on a minor character was odd to me. The epilogue helped though. That felt like a true ending.
