From the author of Sit! Stay! Speak! comes the heartwarming story of three sisters who reunite after their beloved aunt's death to repair their fractured relationships.

The Sisters Hemingway: they couldn't be more different...or more alike.

The Sisters Hemingway were coming back to Cold River...

Hadley, the poised, polished wife of a Senator

Pfeiffer, the successful New York book editor

Martha, who skyrocketed to Nashville stardom

They each have a secret...a marriage on the rocks, a job lost, a stint in rehab...and they haven't been together in years.

Returning for the funeral of the aunt who raised them, the sisters must stay together in their childhood home, faced with a puzzle that may affect all their futures. As they learn the truth of what happened to their mother and youngest sister, and rekindle the bonds they had as children, bonds that had once seemed broken. With the help of neighbors, friends, love interests old and new—and one endearing and determined basset hound, the Sisters Hemingway learn that the happiness that has appeared so elusive may be right here at home, just waiting to be claimed.

      Noblin's fourth novel, second in the "Cold River" series (after Just Fine with Caroline), set in Cold River, MO, carries over some of the characters from the first book and adds a new family. Three sisters--Hadley, Pfeiffer, and Martha Hemingway--return to Cold River when the great-aunt who raised them has died. Hadley is a senator's wife, Pfeiffer a New York-based book editor, and Martha a Nashville star, but they're all keeping secrets that are slowly revealed. This forced reunion in their old home, and the discovery of some family skeletons, causes them to reconnect and find the truth of their past, including what really happened to their mother and younger sister years before. When Pfeiffer discovers their great-aunt's journal, they begin to put all the pieces together. VERDICT Combining sibling rivalry, romantic story lines for each sister, a strong cast of supporting characters, and a realistic, colorful Ozarks setting, this well-paced story will appeal to those who enjoy family dramas. Its warm, engaging tone and happy ending for all will appeal to readers of Susan Wiggs or Mary Alice Monroe.--Melanie Kindrachuk, Stratford P.L., Ont.

      Sisters Hadley, Pfeiffer, and Martha have each gone separate ways since the deaths of their mother and young sister Mary 20 years ago. They are brought back to the family home in the Missouri Ozarks by the death of their Aunt Bea, who had been the one to care for them after the tragic tornado that long-ago day. Each sister is holding on to her own secrets and pain: Pfeiffer has been fired from her job in publishing and is down to her last dime, Hadley is ready to end things with her congressman husband, and Martha is just this side of rehab and a fall from the grace of country-music stardom. As they decide what to do with the old family farm, more secrets are literally unburied and lead the sisters to discover the truth of their own family history. This is a fun, quick read for anyone who loves a family drama, with wit and heart to go around. Recommended for fans of Susan Mallery.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
