'Every choice changed the road you were on and it was too easy to end up going in the wrong direction'
Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at home to raise her family and manage the family apple orchard; the other followed a dream and travelled the world to become a famous photojournalist. But these two estranged women and their cold, disapproving mother, Anya, come together at their father's deathbed to hear the one last promise he extracts from the women in his life.
It begins with a story like no other: a captivating, mysterious love story that spans sixty-five years and moves from war-torn Leningrad in the 1940s to modern-day Alaska. One so unexpected and extraordinary that, when Meredith and Nina finally learn the secrets of their mother's past, they will uncover a truth so terrible that it will shake the very foundations of the family and who they think they are.

"Can a woman ever really know herself if she doesn't know her mother? From the author of the smash-hit bestseller "Firefly Lane "and "True Colors "comes a powerful, heartbreaking novel that illuminates the intricate mother-daughter bond and explores the enduring links between the present and the past
"Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at home to raise her children and manage the family apple orchard; the other followed a dream and traveled the world to become a famous photojournalist. But when their beloved father falls ill, Meredith and Nina find themselves together again, standing alongside their cold, disapproving mother, Anya, who even now, offers no comfort to her daughters. As children, the only connection between them was the Russian fairy tale Anya sometimes told the girls at night. On his deathbed, their father extracts a promise from the women in his life: the fairy tale will be told one last time--and all the way to the end. Thus begins an unexpected journey into the truth of Anya's life in war-torn Leningrad, more than five decades ago. Alternating between the past and present, Meredith and Nina will finally hear the singular, harrowing story of their mother's life, and what they learn is a secret so terrible and terrifying that it will shake the very foundation of their family and change who they believe they are.
