Book Description:
New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice made her triumphant debut with this delicately drawn but emotionally powerful portrait of a woman’s extraordinary journey of the heart and soul–a timeless story of love, sisterhood, and the hope that emerges even out of heartbreak....
Una Cavan doesn’t believe in ghosts. But ghosts seem to believe in her. At least, her father’s ghost does, walking into and out of her life as casually as if he were entering and exiting a room. Una has always believed the Cavan women had the power of witches, and from the beaches of Connecticut to the bustle of New York City they’ve shared the special unbreakable bond of sisters. No man has been able to come between them…until Lily marries the “perfect” man and begins to drift away and Margo gets engaged. With another failed relationship behind her, and a thriving career as an actress ahead of her, Una wonders if she’s destined to be alone–or if there isn’t something more, something magical that life has in store for her. Then an unexpected encounter gives her the answer she’s been seeking….
From the Trade Paperback edition.

It's a sweet story about sisterhood and change. It was enjoyable to read. No overly racey bits, but good nonetheless.

A darling story of relationships, romance and closeness. There's no sexiness involved but an endearing tale of love and friends.

This was Luanne Rice's first book. It was a good story, but a bit slow. I still enjoyed it, however.

The author's first novel, re-released. A good read, but her books got better later.

Luanne Rices' first novel about three sisters and how their relationships evolve as they meet and marry their significant others. A humorous, insightful, true-to-life story.

Bernadette T. (I enjoyed the relationships among the three sisters and some of the insights coming from those relationships. Una has her issues, but knows herself and what she should do to help herself. The coastal inn offered such a nice setting for parts of the story. An interesting and enjoyable book.
good book, just didn't like the ending, guess it could become a series.
Dianne N. from INDIANAPOLIS, IN wrote on 4/15/2007...A fun read!
Another excellent book, by a wonderful author!
read it on the plane...its a great heart warming book
Renee C. from SUFFOLK, VA wrote on 3/8/2007...good book about sisters and there relationships
"The Cavan sisters are an inseparable trio." Of course, that can't last forever and it is the men who enter their lives- as well as the man who has left it- that complicate their relationship and change it. An enjoyable read though Rice has been sloppy with her background research. I found her Dutch character's use of German and his supposed Prussian-ness odd. As if Rice doesn't know the difference between Dutch and German. And no one ever got married in The Hague on New Years Day!
