This book had been on my list since it came out. I hadn't had a chance to read it, but I gave it to my mother in law for Christmas, then told her I wanted to read it when she got done with it. Since she is a fast reader, she got it to me in early February, but I just recently finished it. HIGHLY recommend!
Present Day. After tragedy plunges her into grief and unresolved anger, Sarah Ashby returns to her childhood home determined to finally follow her long-denied dream of running Old Depot Grocery alongside her mother and grandmother. But when she arrives, her mother, Rosemary, announces to her that the store is closing. Sarah and her grandmother, Glory Ann, make a pact 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 the family reputation, Glory Ann vows never to love again. But some promises are not as easily kept as she imagined.
This dual-timeline story from Amanda Cox deftly explores the complexity of a mother-daughter dynamic, the way the secrets we keep shape our lives and the lives of others, and the healing power of telling the truth. (Picture and description from Amazon)
Slowly but surely plugging through my Bible Reading plan, I completed Philemon, James, 1 & 2 Peter, and Job (finally again!).
Ready to jump into my next book!
