Years of caring for her needy family have left Merritt Fowler exhausted and confused, uncertain of who she is or what she wants. When a family argument sends her lovely, fragile daughter, Glynn, running from her Atlanta home to her Aunt Laura in Hollywood, Merritt is compelled to follow.
On impulse, the trio takes off in Laura's red Mustang convertible, barreling up the coast to the lush wilderness outside San Francisco -- earthquake country. There, amid the beauty and protection of the mountains, mother, daughter, and sister will struggle to see if the widening fissures between them can be healed, as they search for the bedrock of strength and courage that can save them and their family.

Another enjoyable story by Ann Rivers Siddons about a Southern woman finding herself. I found much of it facinating, some of it a bit cloying, but nonetheless worth the time.

A love story combined with a mother/daughter crisis....this book will grab you, hold you,
and leave your heart feeling very touched. One of Siddon's very best .... I've read it twice!
