Awards/获奖情况:“This captivating and emotional novel tells a heartwarming story about love lost and found, family secrets and a lot of truth. The author’s true grit and honesty is a real eye-opener, and readers will enjoy the different time frames of flashbacks and future casts between the siblings and how they have grown. When tragedy strikes, we’re not quite sure what happens in between; it takes more than several factors to digest everything. But, the four very different sisters are now well past their 50s, and it’s amazing that their memories remain, as if the good ol’ days in Cape Cod just happened yesterday. This is the perfect book club pick.”– RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
