Sometimes a family resemblance is hard to see... especially if you're not looking for one. And Sabine Knoll isn't. She's the widow of Victor Knoll and the mother of his three children. She loved him - deeply - and even though he's been gone four years, she can't imagine loving anyone else. Then a man named Joe appears in her small town of Oro, Colorado. Joe Knoll. Victor's brother. Except that Victor never told her he had a brother. And if he'd lied about that, had he lied about other things, too? Sabine isn't sure she wants to know. She is sure she doesn't want to fall in love with this man who resembles her husband in some ways, yet not in others. The man who's becoming a part of her children's lives - and of hers.

Master storyteller Margot Early has known from a very young age that she was born into her vocation. Storytelling has been part of her life since she was a child—whether plotting Nancy Drew cases in the basement of Palo Alto, California’s historic Squire House, pretending to live in trees (while climbing them) or tapping the keys of an ancient manual typewriter, writing stories to share with friends. One of her most vivid and joyful childhood memories is when she realized she could read and interrupted a bridge party to display her knowledge. A writer from the age of nine or ten, she has always had an audience—her friends, sisters and parents listening to what she wrote. A friend and fellow journalist once told her that she was a circle—perfect. The very full circle of Margot Early’s life has included some tough times, which she knows have made her a better and more insightful writer. Early, who owns neither a car nor a television, believes her greatest wealth is her friends—and she’s glad to count many relatives among them. Living in a town of four hundred, high in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains, she enjoys the outdoors, dancing, spinning dog hair and spending time with her pets, which include German shepherds, snakes and tarantulas.
