Wonderful story about relationships between mothers and daughter, carried down through generations.

Abby fondly remembers summers spent with her "Grand Lady" and wants the same for her daughter. So, traveling from Hawaii to Louisiana, her hopes are high that her daughter might be "touched by the beauty of her 92-year old Grand Lady's stories before it's too late".

But when Hannah finally does spend time with Gran Lady, the old woman crushes her tender spirit. And a mother-daughter journey home becomes an adventure of discovery-about the importance of family and the healing found in forgiveness.
