True love never fades - and old secrets never die....

Nora hasn’t looked back. Not since she fled Texas to start a new life. Away from her father’s volatile temper and the ever-watchful gaze of her claustrophobically conservative small town, Nora has freed herself. She can live - and love - however she wants. The only problem is that she also left behind the one woman she can’t forget. Now, tragedy calls her back home to confront her past - and reconcile her future.

Sophie seems to have everything - a wonderful daughter, a successful husband and a rewarding career. Yet underneath that perfection lies an explosive secret. She still yearns for Nora - her best friend and first love - despite all the years between them. Keeping her true self hidden hasn’t been easy, but it’s been necessary. So when Sophie finds out that Nora has returned, she hopes Nora’s stay is short. The life she has built depends on it.

But they both find that first love doesn’t fade easily. Memories come to light, passion ignites, and old feelings resurface. As the forces of family and intolerance that once tore them apart begin to reemerge, they realize some things may never change - unless they demand it.

I found myself drawn into the circumstances by which two strong women with tender souls are driven apart by the hypocrisy rooted in the male dominant and religiously repressed town in which they lived.
I hope Ms. Lenhardt continues to explore this topic with more strong female characters and teams up with the talented duo of narrators she employed in the fine novel.

Complex and empathetic treatment of believable characters

I could really get into the scenes as if I was there. Only thing I wish there was more detailed romantic scenes. Those seemed like they were cut short or cut out.

Love the story
