Clare Burke's life took a devastating turn when she tried to protect her sister, Anne, from an abusive and controlling husband and ended up serving prison time for assault. The verdict largely hinged on Anne's defense of her spouse, all lies, and the sisters have been estranged ever since. Nearly twenty years later, Claire is living a quiet life in Manhattan as an urban birder and nature blogger, when her niece, Grit, turns up on her doorstep. The two long for a relationship with each other, but they'll have to dig deep into their family's difficult past in order to build one. Together, they face the wounds inflicted by Anne and her husband and find in their new connection a place of healing. When Clare begins to suspect her sister might have followed Grit to New York, she and her niece hold out hope for a long-awaited reunion with her...but will it be the joyous occasion they dream of? And will Clare and her longtime partner, Paul, whose complicated relationship has been sorely tested through the years, find a way back to love and to each other, again?--From inside front flap of book jacket.… (más)

I liked everything about the book but the ending. The end was so abrupt and really needed more to it. I was very disappointed. ( )

I thought this book was great! I have read several of hers and loved them all. I know from reading on her website that this was an incredibly personal story for her and it was told SO well. I am glad that the "ghost" of the story FINALLY does what should have been done from the start. I wish more women would stand up to their abusive husbands and protect themselves and their children no matter the cost.

This book started out great, but then lost me nearly halfway through. There were points during the story at which I had no idea what the author was talking about. At various points I found myself asking...is this book supposed to be about the repair/reunification of a broken family or is it supposed to be about birds? Putting it simply, the plot was difficult to follow. I just didn't find that it flowed very well. And the ending.....talk about anticlimactic! The entire book led up to this reunion between the 3 women, and when it finally happens, the book just.....ends. There were a lot of questions that went unanswered. Almost like the author was rushing to finish it. ( )

I didn't really care for this story of Clare, Anne and Grit. There are a lot of things going on with these women and some of it is just really weird. I usually like a Luanne Rice book but this was a strange one. ( )

I received this book as a first reads winner. This was a really enjoyable book. It sucked me in from the very beginning. I cared about the characters right away and wanted to know what was happening to them. The heartache and sorrow the characters felt. I know there are men out there who are very controlling of their girlfriend and spouse and this book shows a little bit of how one can be manipulated and cut off from their family. It is a pretty quick read because you will not want to put it down. I recommend this book and really enjoyed reading it. When it was done I wanted to know more about the characters. All the women in the book are strong women but they don't see it, the reader does. ( )
