Great book about four siblings and their fight to keep their ancestral land.
If you liked the author‘s first book One Summer in Savannah, this one will not disappoint.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

I‘m still crying over this lovely novel that is just as touching as her first! It revolves around a family who loses its patriarch and has many decisions to make about the land and house that are somehow being taken away from them. This review doesn‘t even come close to exposing the magnificent story and emotional journey you take reading it. Just trust me and prepare yourself!
