Blurb (from back cover): "Emma London never thought she had anything in common with her grandmother Genevieve London. The regal old woman came from wealthy New England stock, but that didn't protect her from life's cruelest losses: the disappearance of her young son, followed by the premature death of her husband. but Genevieve rose from those ashes and built a fashion empire respected the world over, burying her grief in her work, even when it meant neglecting her other son.
"When Emma's own mother died, her father abandoned her on his mother's doorstep. Genevieve took Emma in and reluctantly raised her-until Emma got pregnant her senior year of high school. Genevieve kicked her out with nothing but the clothes on her back...but Emma took with her the most important London possession: the strength not just to survive but thrive. And indeed, Emma has built a wonderful life for herself and her teenage daughter, Riley.
"So what is Emma to do when Genevieve does the one thing Emma never expected of her and, after nots peaking to her for nearly two decades, calls and asks for help?"
Opinion: This was a endearing book about the strength of family and forgiving the past. Some might question why Emma did what she did for a woman who never seemed to give a damn and left her high and dry but it works in showing forgiveness. A more thorough review will be on MyShelf.com
