"A well-crafted tale of atonement" from a USA Today bestseller who "creates a heart-wrenching atmosphere that slowly builds to the final pages" ( Publishers Weekly ). Charlotte Hale plans to change her life one careful step at a time With nothing but brains, ambition and sheer nerve, Charlotte Hale built a career as a tough, savvy real-estate developer. Her reputation is rock solid—but her life is empty. One terrifying day, Charlotte realizes that her friends are as grasping and insincere as she is. Far worse, she's alienated her family so completely that she's never held or spoken to her only granddaughter. Charlotte vows to make amends, not simply with her considerable wealth, but by offering a hand instead of a handout. Putting in hours and energy instead of putting in an appearance. Opening her home and heart instead of her wallet. With each wrenching, exhilarating, joyful decision, she finds her path to friendship, love and forgiveness—even as she learns what it truly means to build a legacy. "Complex characters, compelling emotions and the healing power of forgiveness—what could be better? I loved this book!" — New York Times –bestselling author Sherryl Woods
