Publisher's summary

Set against the natural beauty of the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest, acclaimed author Cathy Lamb's latest novel tells the emotionally compelling story of one woman's life-changing discovery about her past....

As a child, Evie Lindsay was unnerved by her premonitions. As an adult, they have become a simple fact of life - sometimes disruptive but also inescapable, much like her quirky, loveable family. Evie's mother, Poppy, and her aunts, Camellia and Iris, are well known on San Orcanita island for their free-spirited ways and elaborately decorated hats. Their floral shop and Evie's bookstore draw streams of visitors all summer long. This season promises to be extra busy: Evie's sister, Jules, is getting married on the island.

As Jules plans her unconventional wedding, she arranges to do a DNA test with her mother, sister, and aunts, to see how much accepted lore about their heritage holds true. The results blow apart everything Evie has grown up believing about herself and her family. Spurred on by the revelations, Evie uncovers the real story of her past. But beyond her feelings of shock and betrayal, there are unexpected opportunities - to come to terms with a gift that has sometimes felt like a curse, to understand the secrets that surrounded her childhood, and to embrace the surprising new life that is waiting for her....

Too wordy

I loved the story line . The narrator was great. BUT there are so many unnecessary words and descriptions. “I hugged her , she hugged me” “ she laughed and then I laughed too.”
It made the whole book seem very “simple”
Oh and the sister?? ...

Intriguing….

I did enjoy this book with the exception of the character, Jules, which had me rolling my eyes over and over again. Other than that, it was a fun to listen to book by a great author.

Book was so-so

The character “Jules” was extremely annoying in that she literally talked of nothing besides sex, anytime she spoke...and her voice was very babyish. There was also a racist remark against white men that was disappointed to hear. I wouldn’t recommend the book, although it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever read.

Slow to get going but don’t give up

Turned out to be another CL winner. Didn’t get its full speed.until about halfway thru. Another family and female-centered story. 👍🏻🥰

Really enjoyed this book

Loved all the quirky characters; right down to all the animals. While the story seemed to be almost predictable it was still quite enjoyable and unique. The narrator was excellent.
