Daisy thought she had it all: a great marriage, a beautiful home, two kids, and a satisfying career. But while out driving one day, her husband texts to say he is moving out, one of her kids vomits in the backseat, and the car refuses to start after Daisy pulls over. Her day goes from terrible to even worse when the driver who stops to help her turns out to be her estranged stepsister, Sage. Soon after, Daisy's father calls to ask if her estranged half-sister, Cassidy, can move in with Daisy while she recovers from a serious accident. Soon the sisters she hasn't seen in decades are very much a part of her daily life. As Sage, Cassidy, and Daisy spend time together, they begin to let go of past hurts and see themselves as family. Mallery (The Vineyard at Painted Moon, 2021) once again writes wonderfully about women and their relationships with each other. Despite some easy resolutions, this is an engaging and warm story of sisters reconnecting and women moving on from bad relationships. Fans of family-centered fiction will enjoy this one.

Daisy, Sage, and Cassidy grew up together as part of a blended family. Daisy's widowed father married Sage's mother, and together they had Cassidyâthen divorced when Cassidy was young. Now after decades of not communicating, the siblings reluctantly become part of one another's lives again when Cassidy is injured in a freak accident. At the insistence of their father, Daisy lets Cassidy recuperate in her home. Since Sage and Cassidy were always the closest of the three, Sage ends up spending a lot of time at Daisy's home as well. Even though Daisy's home is huge, the three spend more time close together than they would have expected. The proximity unearths past hurts, but they end up supporting each other through Daisy's separation from her husband (who is also Sage's childhood sweetheart); Sage's desire to reinvent herself after her third divorce; and Cassidy's reluctance to marry the amazing man who loves her. Their newfound bond is challenged, however, when Sage falls back on some bad behavior that leaves the three questioning whether they have really grown enough to maintain their sisterly bond.
