Sisters By Choice by Susan Mallery

You Can’t Choose Your Family…
After her business empire goes up in flames, Sophie Lane returns home to Blackberry Island, determined to rebuild. But until she can learn to let go of the past and embrace change she will never be free to reach for the happiness and love that have eluded her for so long.

Kristine has become defined by her relationship to others. She’s a wife, a mum, and as much as she adores her husband and sons, she wants something for herself—a sweet little bakery just off the waterfront. She knew changing the rules wouldn’t be easy, but she never imagined she might have to choose between her marriage and her dreams.

Like the mainland on the horizon, Heather’s goals seem beyond her grasp. Every time she manages to save any money, her mother has another crisis. Can Heather break free, or will she be trapped in this tiny life forever? Together over one summer these three cousins learn how the bonds of family and friendship can see us through even the most difficult of times.
