"If Julie Cantrell isn't on your reading list, she should be."
-Lisa Wingate, national bestselling author of Before We Were
Yours
When two estranged sisters reunite for their parents' 50th
anniversary, a family tragedy brings unexpected lessons of hope and
healing amid the flowers of their mother's perennial
garden.Eva-known to all as Lovey-grew up safe and secure in Oxford,
MS, surrounded by a rich literary history and her mother's stunning
flower gardens. But a shed fire, and the injuries that it caused,
seemed to change everything . . . especially when her older sister,
Bitsy, blamed Lovey for the irreparable damage.Bitsy became the
cheerleader. The homecoming queen. The perfect Southern belle who
could do no wrong. All the while, Lovey served as the family
scapegoat, always bearing the brunt when Bitsy threw blame her
way.At eighteen, suffocating in her sister's shadow, Lovey turned
down a marriage proposal and fled to Arizona-a place as far from
Mississippi as she could find.In time, she became a successful
advertising executive and a weekend yoga instructor, carving a
satisfying life for herself, free from Bitsy's vicious lies. But
now that she's turning 45, Lovey is feeling more alone than ever
and questioning the choices that have led her here.When she gets a
call from her father insisting that she come home three weeks early
for her parents' 50th anniversary, Lovey is at wits' end. She's
about to close the biggest contract of her career, and there's a
lot on the line. But despite the risks, her father's words, "Family
First," draw her right back to the red-dirt roads of
Mississippi.Lovey is welcomed home by a secret project-a memory
garden her father has planned as an anniversary surprise for her
mother. As she helps create this sacred space, Lovey begins to
rediscover her roots, learning to live perennially in spite of
life's many trials and tragedies.Years ago, Lovey chose to leave
her family and the South far behind. But now that she's returned,
she's realizing things at home were not always what they seemed.
