Anne thought all of the family secrets had been revealed until she saw the photo. A second journal falls into Anne's lap just as she is accepting her inheritance and her grandmother’s secret. This time, an old photo of her mother with a mixed-race boy and an unknown woman comes with it. When she finds out the boy is her long-lost uncle—someone whom her mother has never mentioned—she promises to find him. Anne embarks on a new journey to Taiwan with her mother and boyfriend, Sebastian, where her Chinese American culture hinders more than helps. She must navigate a culture and a complex extended family that is at once familiar and foreign. Family bonds and relationships are tested as she hopes to locate her lost uncle, but the most tested relationship is the one she holds with Sebastian. As Anne embarks on an emotional journey to discover the truth behind her family’s closely guarded secrets, she opens wounds she does not see coming.

How many secrets could one family have? After failing to find her uncle in Taiwan, Anne is back at Skyline Mansion and wants life to be quiet for a change. But when Harrison suddenly makes an appearance, only to disappear a few days later, her life is once again turned upside down. When Anne receives Harrison’s journal with a note requesting her to read it before she decides to search for him again, Anne takes the mission to heart. She once again forsakes her family and friends as she delves into her uncle’s past, unravelling a history of more secrets, pain, and loss. At the same time, another Wilkens family member has reached out to her.

For Anne, family is everything—but at what cost? Anne is the happiest she’s ever been, and her wedding is just around the corner. This is meant to be the biggest moment of her life—a chance to celebrate the love she has found with not only Sebastian but also her new-found family. But Anne is the wealthiest woman in town and her upcoming nuptials provide an opportunity for her enemies to undo her newfound happiness. As the big day draws closer, the complications keep mounting, and Anne is torn four different ways: planning the wedding of her dreams, bridging the gap within her family, fighting off slanderous attacks, and supporting her husband-to-be when his own long-kept family secrets are exposed. Being true to herself could very well mean losing the family she’s only just found. Family Blossom is the fourth and final book in the Skyline Mansion family saga series. Join Anne as she learns to navigate societal and cultural expectations and what it means to have and be loved by an extended family.
