Publisher's summary

A bittersweet reunion becomes a time for looking back and starting over in a heartwarming new novel from New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown.

Miss Janie is at the end of a long and full life, but she has no intention of crossing that finish line until she’s found her girls....

It’s been ten years since Teresa and Kayla shook off the dust of Birthright, Texas, went their separate ways, and never looked back. Apart from their foster mom, Miss Janie, they don’t have many fond memories of their hometown. Or of each other. Still, neither can forget the kind woman who opened her home and heart to two teenagers in need.

When a private investigator - who just happens to be Miss Janie’s handsome nephew - tracks them both down and tells them Miss Janie is dying, Teresa and Kayla know deep down that they’ve got to be there for her as she had been there for them.

With Teresa and Kayla together again under the same roof, old tensions may flare, but with Miss Janie’s help, they might rediscover that home is the perfect place for new beginnings.

Beautiful story and Performance!!

Story and performance were wonderful. made me laugh and cry. This book lifts you up.

Warm hearted story

A sweet story of how love and patience can shape and change the lives of two young girls in foster care, and how helping these girls also helped the big hearted lady who opened her heart and home to them.

Miss Janie's Girls

I was captivated from beginning to end of this one! Miss Janie was born at the time when if you were under age and pregnant your parents could send you away and take away your baby and that is what happened to Miss Janie. She had twin girls when she was 16 and then she was sent to live with her Aunt in Birthright, Texas, and ended up as secretary of the school system and fostering two teens later in life. Now, 60 years later, she is dying of cancer and Alzheimer's and she has asked her nephew Noah to find her girls and bring them home. Theresa and Kayla left after they graduated and never looked back but when they are found they do end up coming back and we are treated to everyone's story, past and present, and find something they all are missing...love.

Great

Another great book by Carolyn Brown. I loved these characters and I would recommend this book and all her books.

Great story

I had 3 permanant fosters in my family like Miss Janie. Now all of us in our 60s we still consider ourselves family. This story sheds light on the good people that do this out of love.

Wonderful

Carolyn Brown has done it again! I absolutely loved this storyline and she’d a few tears along the way.
You won’t regret reading this book.

Ahh

A sweet story and a good subject matter. However I just felt it was a little too long and nothing was really happening at the end. Could have all just been wrapped up in an epilogue. Only a few curse words and for that I can’t be more thankful 👍🏻

Tear Jerker!

Such a heartfelt story. I laughed a nd cried. I saw myself and my sisters in the characters.

easy listening

predictable and still delightful. it's nice to read a happy ending book during these times.

Another beautiful story!

This one had all the feels. I am so happy Carolyn Brown didn’t stretch Miss Janie’s illness more than necessary.

Our main characters show us how you can make a mess of your life, and never is too late to learn from your mistakes and keep pushing forward

To those of us who have experienced a loved one’s demencia in any of its incarnations like Alzheimer’s, this story hits home.

I am happy Miss Janie got things the way she wanted them.

This is a 5 Star story!
