Synopsis:
Sonny Miller is tired of not knowing who she is. Soon she’ll begin graduate school to earn her masters in psychology. But how can she counsel future clients about their identities when she isn’t even sure about her own? To that end she has cooked up a little meeting at a certain beach house in San Diego.
Sonny’s mother, classical soprano Teresa Miller, isn’t aware she’s about to be reunited at the beach house with her sister, Melanie Hines, after 25 years of estrangement. And Sonny isn’t aware her mother has invited a surprise guest of her own. Russian adoptee, Irina Petrova, finds herself dragged along on a trip so tumultuous she summons her handsome concert violinist brother for moral support.
The four women converge on the funky little beach house in San Diego, each with her own disappointments and hopes about family, identity, and love. For Sonny, the trip reveals all she expected and more than she ever dreamed.
Pattie's Review:
This is the third Trish Perry book I've read, and I have to say I've enjoyed them all. Funny, quirky, likeable characters with realistic flaws populate her world. Spiritual encouragement abounds as well, without preachiness.
I can't say more for fear of giving something away! Let's just say, surprises abound! But it's all good, friends. It's all good.
I highly recommend this book for summertime reading.
