Publisher's summary

Set against the natural beauty of the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest, acclaimed author Cathy Lamb's latest novel tells the emotionally compelling story of one woman's life-changing discovery about her past....

As a child, Evie Lindsay was unnerved by her premonitions. As an adult, they have become a simple fact of life - sometimes disruptive but also inescapable, much like her quirky, loveable family. Evie's mother, Poppy, and her aunts, Camellia and Iris, are well known on San Orcanita island for their free-spirited ways and elaborately decorated hats. Their floral shop and Evie's bookstore draw streams of visitors all summer long. This season promises to be extra busy: Evie's sister, Jules, is getting married on the island.

As Jules plans her unconventional wedding, she arranges to do a DNA test with her mother, sister, and aunts, to see how much accepted lore about their heritage holds true. The results blow apart everything Evie has grown up believing about herself and her family. Spurred on by the revelations, Evie uncovers the real story of her past. But beyond her feelings of shock and betrayal, there are unexpected opportunities - to come to terms with a gift that has sometimes felt like a curse, to understand the secrets that surrounded her childhood, and to embrace the surprising new life that is waiting for her....

Slow and just an ok book.

Took most of the book for anything interesting to happen. Several instances repeated over and over again. And very anticlimactic.

I didn’t think I would like as much as I did.

Full range of emotions. Lots of laugh out loud. Some sadness. Living in the area where this book supposedly takes place was fun too (names have been changed) but many references to the places I love to visit right down to the bookstore.
Loved the family, and the narrator did a good job with everyone.

The crazy aunts and mom make the book fun. The story is easy to figure out, but a great listen!

Trying to finish!

I loved Henry’s sisters so much and keep trying to get through this one. There are a few interesting parts but so many annoying, repetitive parts.I’m 29 chapters in, hoping this one turns around!

Not my favourite

I have listened to a few Cathy Lamb books, which I have enjoyed. But I try think now she has run out of ideas.
Shame really. Probably would be ok if you hadn’t read any other by this Author

Beautiful and superb

This is the 3rd book of Ms Lambs I have read and she didn’t disappoint. I love how she combine’s mental conditions with humour and descriptions of delicious desserts. The narrator is so perfect and I just wish she has more of her books on Audible
