The BRAND NEW, deliciously romantic feel-good read from BESTSELLER Helen Rolfe, perfect for fans of Shari Low, Heidi Swain and Cathy Bramley Only a taste of home can heal old wounds ‍🩹🧁 When sisters Addie and Susanna receive invitations to a memorial for their Aunt Gayle, they're heartbroken to learn the woman who raised them has passed away. But arriving on Anchor Island, they're met with the shock of their lives: Gayle is alive and well, busily preparing her own 'Celebration of Life' at her beloved pudding bar, The Sweet Life Café. Agreeing to stay for the event, the sisters begin sorting through their late father's belongings, reopening wounds they thought long buried, and forcing them to reflect on their lives since leaving the island.

Susanna's marriage is crumbling, and being back on the island only reminds her why she couldn't wait to escape.

After the deaths of his mother and Lena Daelyra, the love of his life, something in Silas changed, turning him into a cold, merciless man.

When a major actress-turned-producer shows up at her door eager to make her “inspiring” story into a movie, she’s shocked, excited, and a little terrified.

As their lives are chewed up and spit out by the Hollywood machine, triggering old resentments and launching new betrayals, will any of them even recognize the "inspiring" family in this film? Or will this "feel-good" movie be the end of them?
