RATING:  4/5











I have wanted to read a book by Susan Mallery for awhile now. I thought this series would be a good starting point. This book is the first in the series and features Claire who is a concert pianist. She travels the world and is very famous. She has never really dated and is already 27. Her family owns a bakery and her sister Nicole has surgery and needs help to run it. Unbeknownst to Claire, Nicole did not ask for the help. And starts the journey of patching up family matters. Along the way, she meets Wyatt and his daughter Amy. A wonderfully written book with a happy ending. I look forward to starting the next book in the series.

This was such a wonderful book.  It is from 3 different viewpoints in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.  It is written exactly like the characters would talk.  I was very embarrassed by the way that blacks were treated then.  It is very disgraceful.  I am glad that this book was written.  It opens up people's eyes to what an atrocity their actions really were.  I would recommend this book.  5 stars.
