The writing is lush and evocative and I adore that this historical romance is unique, well written, and not overly inspirational. Emmy and Callie Bullock are not only sisters, they are best friends. They have grown up with wealth and privilege, part of a brood of Alabama cotton farmers. Their cozy life gets turned upside down when their cook's granddaughter turns up unexpectedly and starts getting a lot of unwanted attention from Emmy's fiancé's twin brother. The final straw is when Callie witnesses something she was never meant to see, she blacks it out, but that only makes things more challenging. The sisters are soon separated and the only way they are able to piece together what happened that fateful night is through letters. Heart-wrenching and filled with a cast of great characters. I wouldn't mind reading some more books set in this family's household!
