As the devoted mom prepares to send her child off to college, she has the startling realization she’s completely lost touch with her husband.

Desperate to reignite their spark, Sarah organizes one last family road trip – a summer of wonder. And when a stop at a farmer’s market unearths an old journal overflowing with romantic reflections, she’s inspired to recapture the magic.

Will Sarah forge a path back to her carefree youth and win over the heart of her soulmate?

A poignant story of loss … and the healing power of love.

Architect Margaret Bradley is a rising star, renowned for her vision. In keeping with the promise she made to herself when her first mother died, she’s fiercely self-reliant, traveling the country solo, enjoying her professional success.

Then she finds out she’s going blind.

It’s an unimaginable situation. Independence, the one thing for which she’s always striven, seems impossible.

Worse, Margaret’s adoptive mother, Mama Katherine, is sick. Margaret returns to her childhood home to help care for her … and to seek refuge as she grieves the loss of her sight.

Margaret is determined to prove—to her sisters, Sarah and Hannah, her mother, and herself—that she can remain self-sufficient. Then she meets Ethan, whose thoughtful gestures and provocative voice make Margaret think relying on someone else might not be so bad after all.

While one part of Margaret begins to accept this new life, another part of her—one born when she was just a little girl—fights against it. As those two sides struggle for control, Margaret must weigh losing her vision against gaining something much more significant.

Previously published as The Structure of Perfection by Hilary Dartt.

A compelling story about the choices we make … and the healing power of family.

Hannah Bradley knows she’s lucky: she’s always lived an almost-magical existence.

In fact, when her younger sisters started new lives—Sarah as the consummate wife and mother and Margaret as an independent, jet-setting engineer—Hannah chose to remain home with Mama Katherine and become a teacher at the local elementary school.

Everything was perfect—until Mama dropped a bombshell that revealed their life was built on a foundation of secrets and deception.

As Hannah struggles to unravel the truth about her own past, she finds herself inexplicably compelled to help a new student, Sadie, whose behavior (in turns surly and charming) suggests she’s had anything but a perfect life—and that she truly needs Hannah.

Making life even more complicated, the family hires Hannah’s college nemesis, Tanner Lucas, to build two new houses on the property. Despite their somewhat contentious past, he’s now oddly charming—especially in the way he interacts with Sadie.

Hannah’s connections with both Sadie and Tanner deepen, and she begins to see possibilities she’d only imagined … to want things she’d always told herself she didn’t need. But juxtaposed against that potential are the consequences of choices made long ago.

Now, at last, Hannah must define for herself what perfection really means.
