Introduction

Three sisters with opposing temperaments have a fiery reunion at the family estate in an unexpected journey of the heart in the latest novel from bestselling author Angela Hunt.

Darlene Caldwell, reigning matriarch of Sycamores, a spacious Southern estate in northern Florida, is having a birthday?her fiftieth. Her younger sister, Nolie, is helping Darlene's boyfriend, Henry, plan a huge celebration that will involve almost everyone in the small town of Peculiar. But Darlene doesn?t know the party planners have invited her twin sister, Carlene, to come from New York for the festivities?after all, it's Carlene's birthday, too, and before Carlene went off to become a famous singer on Broadway she was toasted as Peculiar's Buttercup Squash Festival Queen.

    So Nolie and Henry send off the invitation?and are stunned when Carlene actually shows up, dragging luggage and a load of family baggage in her wake. Can these sisters reach an understanding and learn to live together in peace?

Discussion Questions

1. The story is told through the third-person viewpoints of the three sisters – Carlene, Darlene, and Nolie. Could you identify with one character more than the others? Why or why not? Did it help you to be “inside the heads” of all three characters?
2. Would your church (if you have one) hire a minister who had been divorced? Why or why not? How did you feel about Erik Payne’s predicament?
3. Nolie gleans some wisdom about forgiveness and passes it to Carlene…and, inadvertently, the other principal characters. What sorts of things are difficult to forgive? Is it always beneficial to forgive those who have wronged us?
