Kristin Hannah writes books that show real emotion and leave an impression that lasts. Angie's had a bad year, she has a hard time getting and staying pregnant and has just lost a baby in a miscarriage. In addition, her father has recently died. Finally giving up on having children she divorces her husband who she still loves and moves to her hometown where her family has a restaurant.

The family has always been upset with her because she didn't stay and help in the family Italian restaurant. She discovers that the restaurant is failing and they are probably going to have to close its doors. Offering to help in spite of her sisters scorn at her lack of experience, she puts her marketing degree to work and helps revive the business.

In the process of settling in, Angie meets a 17-year-old girl Laurie, who has a terrible home life. With an alcoholic mother, Laurie has no place to go when she discovers she is pregnant and her mother throws her out of their tiny apartment. The rest of the story is wonderful and I'm not going to put in any spoilers. A great book that explores many family relationships. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
