#1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr creates an uplifting ensemble of characters in this rags-to-riches-to-rags novel about women, friendship and the complex path to happiness
In the aftermath of her husband´s crimes, Emma Compton´s world is shattered. Richard Compton stole his clients´ life savings to fund a lavish life in New York City and, although she was never involved in the business, Emma bears the burden of the fraud.
Only one friend stands by her, a friend she´s known since high school, who encourages her to come home. But starting over isn´t easy, and Sonoma County is full of unhappy memories, too. And people she´d rather not face, especially Riley Kerrigan.
Riley and Emma were like sisters--until Riley betrayed Emma. Emma left town, planning to never look back. Now, trying to stand on her own two feet, she can´t escape her husband´s reputation and is forced to turn to the last person she thought she´d ever ask for help--Riley. It´s an uneasy reunion as both women face the mistakes they´ve made over the years. But if they find a way to forgive each other--and themselves--each of them can find the life she wants.
