I really enjoy Kristin Hannah's books. Each one is different but shares a commonality with discussing family relationships. Nora walked away from her family. Her daughters are now grown women with problems of their own. Caroline lives a life of suffocation and lonliness with her seemlingly perfect marriage. Ruby lives in Hollywood where she is trying to be a comedian but is failing miserably. She gets a contract to write a story about how awful her mother is and jumps at the chance to prove it. When Nora is in a car accident and Ruby agrees to take care of her, she finds out that there is more to her mother than meets the eye. On the island where the two are living is also Ruby's one time love. He is waiting for a chance to rekindle the relationship that Ruby and he had, but Ruby has built too many walls for him to break down. This book takes you on an emotional roller coaster. It is not a sappy romance novel. It exposes hardships that every family has gone through at one time or another.
