Lost and Found in Lavender Bay (The Lavender Bay Chronicles, Book 2)

Present Day Maureen Peterson is the eldest of the Cook sisters, a role that often comes with its own set of expectations and responsibilities. To the outside world, Maureen's life appears perfect: she is happily married, is the proud mother of three children, and has a successful career. However, behind closed doors, her family is confronted by a challenging reality. But Maureen's relentless need to present a perfect ideal to the outside world begins to take its toll on her and her family. 1940 Laura Hadley, in her younger years, made a regrettable mistake that had far-reaching consequences, causing her older sister immense distress. The incident cast a long shadow over Laura's life, branding her with a reputation she found hard to shake. Shunned and alienated, she finds it difficult to move forward with her life. When the war comes into their lives, circumstances force her to confront new challenges. But can the love of a good man help her move forward, take charge of her life, and turn things around? Decades apart in the small town of Lavender Bay, two women navigate struggles and challenges with perseverance and determination.
