What this book is about
Genevieve Londoner, a cold and critical grandmother, is dying — and reaches out to Emma, the granddaughter she rejected. A multi-generational family story about pride, regret, and reconciliation. More women's fiction than romance. Terminal illness, family estrangement, and complicated forgiveness are the central themes.
