Ginny Young is on a plane en route to see her mother, whom she hasn't seen or spoken to for 35 years. She thinks back to the summer of 1958, when she and her sister, Sharla, were young girls. Moving back and forth in time between the girl she once was and the woman she's become, Ginny at last confronts painful choices that occur in almost any woman's life and learns surprising truths about the people she thought she knew best.

The tears will come when I think of this story. I wonder what my daughter will think of me?

How could I not cry for my mother?

I expected to be motivated by this story from the start. I’m always drawn to stories about families but this book was off to a slow start. I’m glad I didn’t stop reading because the ending was worth it. In short we never know what someone’s going through until we take the time to talk and listen.

It took me a while to get into this story.

This book touched me deeply and really made me question my story that I believed I mostly understood. At 72 years old I could easily fall into the trap of believing I have figured out the past even knowing that it ideally is progressive without a stopping point. Thank you Elizabeth Berg.

Touching with a beautiful message.

I was enjoying the story but the it just ends abruptly. I expected more stories when they were with their mother. I was surprised to find it just ended.

Good but stops abruptly

This was a deeply moving, beautifully written, cautionary tale that should speak to every little girl…and her mother.

Beautiful!!
