2 stars for me.
Arabella get a phone call about her mother,the same woman who abandoned her and her siblings almost forty years ago.Before she knows it,Arabella and her sister Willow are on the plane to Arizona.Their homless brother joins them later,and while they all around their mother,maybe now it's the time to find out what happened all those years ago and why Eve left them.

Will they ever forgive Eve for leave without them ?

It was a family drama filled read.There is a lot of hurt and resentment that is resolved mostly in the end,and all three siblings get some good ending.My favorite character was Dale,voice of reason,and he was sweet to Arabella,helpful to anyone really.An ok read.

Bit long winded and boring I wanted see how it ended bit predictable

[Kim Innes]

Not for me, long winded and boring

[Kelly]

Abandonment and childhood trauma might be bring some siblings closer but more often creates unbreachable chasms. Interesting use of first person writing by characters who are not literary and in some cases near illiterate

I really enjoyed this book, I love the way she can make you feel so involved in the story, you feel as if you are a friend of the characters and they are just telling you their thoughts and hopes and secrets.

Having read and enjoyed 'Tell me your Secret', I was looking forward to this book. However, I was very disappointed - yes there were colourful characters in it, but they didnt grab me.

[Bernadette]

A really great read. Loved the characters.
