This is Carolyn Dingman's first novel - and she did a really great job with this one! I hope she writes more. It was suspenseful and yet the emotions of a romantic sub-plot. Olivia's world is reeling. Her mother died a year ago and her mother's last request was for her ashes to be scattered back in her home town. Yet, this is a part of their mother's past that she never talked about, didn't share with her children. It starts a quest for Olivia to discover the events that shaped her mother into the woman that Olivia had known. In pursuing that quest, Olivia also discovered truths about herself and her relationship with her fiancé, Leo. Really good book. Olivia is a more modern woman and the author does have her living with her fiancé. While it is not a value I hold with I also like that she was not graphic. Since it was a holiday weekend - it was so nice to curl up with a good book. I couldn't put it down. Actually finished the book in two days. Normally I don't have the time to just relax and read. It was such a treat.
