Really enjoyed reading this book. The three sisters (all adults now) are invited back to a vacation house. They haven't been there in many years. Their Dad comes in and announces that he has remarried. And the new wife was coming to meet them tomorrow. The family has lots of secrets that end up being discovered as they start to talk about how upset they are by their Dad and his actions. They are upset that he never introduced them to the wife prior to marrying her. They are more upset that this new wife is there and they aren't getting time with their Dad - time that they never have had because he left them with nannies and at boarding schools.
It is an interesting read but I was surprised by how quickly they forgave their Dad. While I believe that God calls us to forgiveness my experience has been that it is a process - and rarely happens in a week away at a vacation house. The book was good and I did like it. I just didn't find the forgiveness process to be very real to life.
