I really enjoyed this story. It centers around Joan in 1997 while she is cleaning out her recently deceased mother's house only to come across a suitcase with 6 unsent letters from her mother. Through the letters, she begins learning more about the woman that never treated her daughter with the warmth she deserved. You also hear more about Joan's unsatisfying life, although more attention is paid to the flashbacks showing a growing relationship between the mother (Kate) and someone she meets whi ...more

All the great reviews made me expect something exceptional, but still I was quite surprised by the high quality of this novel.
If you're after a "woman meets woman, there's some real energy between them, they fall in love, jump into bed and live happily ever after" kind of novel, this is NOT for you!
It's about women, yes. Quite a few of them, and their loves and lives from the 1930's, 1940's, 1950's and finally, 1990'.

The conference this year was held in Dallas, TX back in June. Political crap aside, I love Texas. I lived there for 6 years while attending TCU and earning my B.S. and M.S. degrees. I was sad to leave after that 2nd graduation.

A highlight of the conference this year was meeting Sandra Moran. She’s friendly, she’s charming, and she’s a ...more

4+ A powerful, emotive story that has a well researched setting and characters that are believable (sometimes frustratingly so). The plot is beautifully crafted and is realistic, causing me to invest myself in the characters' lives, stew with them over choices and ache with their loss.
I seldom take notes while reading, but this digital copy is peppered with bookmarks pinning questions and challenging events or decisions I want to revisit.
Ms. Moran is now on my "auto-buy" list - joining authors ...more
