Synopsis

Tess Longren is 28, single, and at a crossroads in her life.  She finally has a job she enjoys as well as a proposal of marriage from a man she loves, but Tess can’t seem to grasp a future filled with promise and hope.  Her mother’s long ago death remains a constant, though subtle ache that Tess can’t seem to move past. When childhood friend, Blair Holbrook, asks Tess to accompany her to their childhood home to resolve a situation left unsettled fifteen years ago, Tess falsely imagines that by helping her friend find peace, she will find contentment for herself.

A wonderful follow–up to the author’s earlier novels, Why the Sky Is Blue and A Window to the World.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

"The danger and beauty of invisible wounds is that everyone thinks you’re fine."

Tess Longren is 28. After a nomadic upbringing with a military father, she’s finally put down roots in Chicago. The man she loves has asked her to marry him. She likes her job dressing rich women and skinny mannequins at an upscale boutique. Life is good. Or, it should be.

But her mother’s long-ago death shapes and shadows Tess’ present. When Blair Holbrook, a childhood friend, asks Tess to help her rectify an old wrong by accompanying her to the Arkansas town where they met, Tess grasps at the chance to find peace for herself.

Resolving someone else’s regrets proves no balm for her own, though, and Tess must find another remedy—one that comes from a most unexpected source.

A powerful story of forgiveness from the author of Why the Sky Is Blue and A Window to the World.
