ABOUT THE BOOK

Two sets of sisters, generations apart--can one big sister's sacrifice teach the other about love and forgiveness?

1963: Twenty-year-old Annie dreams of managing the dance studio where she has trained since childhood and of marrying her high-society boyfriend. But when her younger sister with special needs gets pregnant, Annie is forced to set her dreams aside for the sake of family.

Present Day: Missy Robbins has always lived in her younger sister's shadow. When given the opportunity, Missy steps out of her comfort zone as stay-at-home mom of four to prove she's as good a singer as Erica. Missy's new pursuit puts her on a path to self-discovery and reclaiming her discarded faith. Until she discovers her grandmother has a sixty-year-old secret.

Will Missy conceal Grandma Annie's deception or will she be forced to reveal the hidden truth?

EXCERPT

The melodic notes of the classic song’s introduction made Missy’s stomach tighten. Such a balance of beauty and pain in that moment. Art met panic there. The desire to create music faced down fear. The meaning of the song and the beauty of its lyrics collided with her doubt. In that moment before she opened her mouth, something stirred deep inside her.

I see you, Melissa Jo. I see you.
