Patrick knew from the moment he climbed out of his car and heard the music blasting from the back of the cabin what he would find... his sister was painting. And considering her choice of music, there was every possibility that what filled her canvas wasn't meant to soothe the soul. Claire Andersen Slavik was exactly where she needed to be. The last couple of years had been good ones even if at times filled with difficult moments. She had moved in with her mother when it was obvious she was needed. And never had a single regret for doing so. There had been days filled with joy and others with heartbreak. Now her mother was gone and the world she'd known had once again shifted out of balance. Claire was determined to take this time like a stolen moment to come to grips with the change in her life that the loss of her mother had made. It didn't matter that her kids called almost every day. She understood. But she needed this time away. The quiet and the peace that this little heaven on earth allowed her... and at the same time forced her to face this new void in her life honestly. Little did she know that her peace and tranquility was about to be disrupted. Her solitude on the brink of collapse.

Will the youngest of Livia Andersen's grown children find the tranquility she seeks in the mountains of Arkansas? Can she make her brother understand the reasons for the choices she's made and the secrets she'd kept? Will the ...
