The author continues to explore the Blue Sky Hill neighborhood in Dallas, TX. In this book, we delve into the lives of three main characters: Tam, Shasta, and Sesay. Tam is 18 years old and spends her summer taking golf lessons at the country club, shopping, and planning a year-long trip across Europe with her best friend rather than beginning college in the fall. Shasta is a 20-something Native American who has just moved from Oklahoma into her first home with her husband Cody and young sons Benjamin and Tyler. Sesay is a homeless woman and talented artist in her 50s or 60s fleeing an abusive "boss" on a sugar cane plantation in Miami. The novel addresses the question: What if the real estate development company endorsed by a high-profile sports hero is doing more harm than good in a historic residential neighborhood and the hero's family is forced to leave their mansion to live in one of the small run-down homes owned by the development company? The story includes characters previously featured in previous Blue Sky Hill novels as well as the author's Tending Roses series, but it could also be read as a stand-alone. I really liked this novel because it didn't tie up every storyline with a bow; there's hope for positive outcomes in the characters' lives.
