A story of love, sisterhood, and starting over… Lena Merrill and Owen McEnna have been best friends for decades, and she’s done a great job of pretending she’s not in love with him that whole time…until recently.

Will Anna figure out how to navigate these choppy family waters, or will her visit to Cherry Blossom Point turn out to be a disaster of Titanic proportions? \\The Cherry Blossom Point series is a spinoff from the Bluebird Bay series but can be read as a stand alone.
