Klappentext

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller comes a brand-new story about the ties that bind a family, the power of friendship and the love that can sustain us.

Madison Bettencourt has always wanted to be part of a bustling family. When she was growing up, it was just her and Coralee, the grandmother who cared for her. And now that Coralee needs her, there's nowhere else Madison would rather be. But as Madison rattles around the massive family home, she remembers living there as a child and meeting a girl named Bliss. Irreverent with eyes that had seen too much at her tender age, Bliss was Madison's first friend. They'd lost touch when Bliss suddenly stopped coming around, and Madison is determined to find her. For the more time she spends at her grandmother's home, the more alive the past feels. How can Madison embrace her future if she can't unravel the past?

Liam McKettrick could be her future. A single dad trying to repair his relationship with his two kids, he has his hands full. But the more time they spend together, the more Madison imagines the family she's always dreamed of with Liam and his kids. She was only supposed to be in town for a short while, but she can't deny the lure of the place where the creek bends.
