"One woman takes the vacation of a lifetime in this poignant and heartwarming story about the threads that hold a family together ... Single mom Robyn Caldwell needs a new plan for her future. She has always put her family first. Now, with her kids grown, she yearns for a change. But what can she do when her daughter has become the most demanding bride ever, her son won't even consider college, her best friend is on the brink of marital disaster and her ex is making a monumentally bad decision that could ruin everything? Take a vacation, of course. Press reset. When her great-aunt Lillian invites her to Santa Barbara for the summer, Robyn hops on the first plane to sunny California. But it's hard to get away when you're the heart of the family. One by one, everyone she loves follows her across the country. Somehow, their baggage doesn't feel as heavy in the sun-drenched, mishmash mansion. The more time Robyn spends with free-spirited Lillian, the more possibilities she sees--for dreams, love, family. She can have everything she ever wanted, if only she can muster the courage to take a chance on herself"-- Provided by publisher. 20220517. Divorced mothers Fiction. Families Fiction.
