Another excellent book by Anne Rivers Siddons - about going home again and finding love and forgiveness.

I have read this book a couple of times throughout the years and enjoyed it each time.

Just as excellent as Anne Rivers Siddons' books always are!

One of the best books I've read in a long time, and the first Anne Rivers Siddons books. I will be looking for other books by her.

She returns home after her father threw her out, but now is asking for her as he is dying. She discovers a lot about her family and reconnects to her past.

After twenty-one years Micah (Mike) Winship is making the big move--she's going home for a visit. She hasn't been back since 1963, when her father threw her out, but now he is dying and asking for her. And although she is armed with her succesful journalism career and the strength found after her divorce, she is nearing forty and her sophisticated urban lifestyle is falling apart.

Heading home, Mike is unprepared for a past that has lain in wait for her--one that includes an old love, a spoiled sister, and a plot to seize her family's land. And in trying to understand her long-forgotten self, she learns at last those lessons best learned early about love and loss, family and forgiveness, and the undeniable need for a place called home.

This book is well written in how it moves back and forth from the history of what has happening to what is happening in the present.

About someone who finds an old love.

Siddon's trademark southern tale.

Good quick read
