"Cox is a writer to turn to for emotionally rich and redemptive fiction."--Booklist starred review
Present Day. Sarah Ashby returns to her childhood home, determined to finally follow her dream of running the family business alongside her mother and grandmother. So when her mother, Rosemary, announces to her that Old Depot Grocery is closing, Sarah and her grandmother, Glory Ann, make a plan to save the store. But Rosemary has worked her entire life to make sure her daughter never follows in her footsteps. She has her reasons--but she''ll certainly never reveal the real one.
1965. Glory Ann confesses to her family that she''s pregnant with her deceased fiancé''s baby. Pressured into a marriage of convenience with a shopkeeper to preserve her family''s reputation, Glory Ann vows never to love again. But some promises are not as easily kept as she imagined.
This dual-time story from Amanda Cox deftly explores the complexity of the mother-daughter relationship, the way the secrets we keep shape our lives and the lives of others, and the healing power of telling the truth.
"Amanda Cox''s poignant novel waltzes ''between grief and joy'' as its mothers and daughters grow to appreciate each other''s strengths."--Foreword Reviews
