Starting From Scratch
(2021)(The first book in the Cherry Blossom Point series)
A novel by Christine Gael
A story of love, sisterhood, and starting over…
Lena Merrill and Owen McEnna have been best friends for decades, and she’s done a great job of pretending she’s not in love with him that whole time…until recently. Maybe it’s all the changes in the air. Maybe it’s realizing that life is passing her by and most of her dreams are still unfulfilled. Whatever the case, her already notoriously bad poker face is slipping, and it needs to stop, pronto. Because there’s only one thing worse than not having Owen love her back, and that’s the thought of driving him away altogether.
When Nikki Merrill set off for Bluebird Bay to find her long lost sister, Anna, she never imagined she'd be returning home to Cherry Blossom Point with her in tow. Battle lines are drawn when each of her siblings have wildly different reactions to their new family member. Lena is willing to invite Anna into their lives, Gayle and Jack can’t even look at her, and Nikki? She’s caught dead in the middle of things. Will building a relationship with her new sister splinter the one she has with the siblings she's always known?
Anna Sullivan didn’t want another family. Now that she has one, though, she’s in for the long haul. When she leaves Bluebird Bay to spend some time with Nikki and meet the rest of her siblings, she isn’t prepared for the drama that ensues. It’s kind of hard to make a good impression when half of them see her as a walking representation of their father’s infidelity. And when more family secrets are uncovered, she realizes they’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Will Anna figure out how to navigate these choppy family waters, or will her visit to Cherry Blossom Point turn out to be a disaster of Titanic proportions?
**The Cherry Blossom Point series is a spinoff from the Bluebird Bay series but can be read as a stand alone.
Genre: Romance
