A Mother Like Mine

Description

Abby Rhodes is just starting to get her life on track. After her fiance's unexpected death, she returned with her young son to the small village where she grew up and threw herself into helping her ailing grandmother run the town's beach cafe. Then one evening, her mother Laura shows up in Hartley-by-the-Sea and announces her plan to stay. After twenty years away, she now wants to focus on the future - and has no intention, it seems, of revisiting the painful past.

Kate Hewitt is the USA Today bestselling author of more than forty books, including the Hartley-by-the-Sea novels Rainy Day Sisters and Now and Then Friends. She has also written as Katharine Swartz.
