I hope the author writes a sequel to this book. I looked forward to reading it every night, and didn't want to stop. The writing is top-notch, and the plot is clever, suspenseful, and page-turning. All the characters felt very real-they are still rattling around in my head. You will embrace Abbie as a slightly flawed but sympathetic, smart, resourceful, and relatable heroine. What follows is a gripping story that forces Abbie to come out of her shell and embark on a journey in which she’ll confront her greatest fears, a journey that will ultimately uncover the truth about a secret love story that rocks Abbie to her core, as she comes to finally understand, accept, and believe in herself. However, unable to stifle her curiosity, Abbie goes in search of this mysterious visitor the next day-only to discover that she’s just died, unquestionably the result of foul play. Abbie has spent a lifetime fending off strangers with questions about her deceased, movie-star mother, and has no desire to speak to this woman. It’s an impossible claim-isn’t it? After all, the woman is black, whereas Abbie is white. Feeling overwhelmed by 25 years of marriage and family obligations, she’s just taken her first tentative step toward independence, hoping to “find her creative self,” when a woman appears on her doorstep insisting she’s her half-sister. I loved it!Ībbie Palmer is at a crossroads in her life. A fast-paced, compelling whodunit/family saga that grabs you and won’t let go.
