Book
Beach Plum island / Holly Robinson.
"These are the last cryptic words that Ava Barrett's father says before he dies. But Ava doesn't have a brother, as far as she knows, so how can she tell him the truth? She dismisses the conversation and dedicates herself to bringing her family together for her father's funeral. This is no easy task since her sister, Elaine, has been estranged from the family and still harbors resentment against their stepmother and half sister, Gigi. Ava, on the other hand, is a single mother who sees Gigi as a troubled teen in need of love and connection. Ava, too, could use more love in her life and finds it where she least expects it. But the biggest surprise of all is that Gigi holds the key to the mystery surrounding her father's dying words, and she joins Ava in uncovering a secret that rapidly unravels the very fabric of their entire family..."-- Provided by publisher.
