Synopsis

From childhood, Molly Bell Redwine was taught "family is everything." Yet, suddenly, she discovers that family can change without warning, when her husband of more than twenty years leaves her for a younger woman, her domineering mother dies, and her Atlanta clan scatters.

As her stay up island widens the distance between herself and the past, Molly begins to become part of a stranger new world—a world that offers healing, renewal, and an unexpected second chance at happiness.
