A poignant novel of hope, acceptance, forgiveness and the heartbreaking compromises people make in the name of love.

The Blakelys are broken. The family shattered as matriarch Mary June refused to face the truth of her past and a legacy of tragedy. She and her husband Preston have paid the price for years of unspoken emotions - one son is lost forever, another, Morgan, has not been home in over a decade.

But now as they could be forced to sell the one thing precious to their disintegrating family - Sweetgrass, home to the Blakely family for eight generations - unless they confront the secrets that kept them apart. Old hurts and one tragic event have driven the Blakelys to destruction and now fate could be dealing them the final blow. But could this loss be their redemption?
