Lindsay and Kerrie Ann are sisters who have known hardship from an early age, when their mother was sent to prison and they were separated and sent into foster care. Thirty years later, Lindsay is still trying to reconnect with her little sister.

When they are finally reunited, neither sister’s expectations are met. Kerrie Ann feels intimidated by the classy,” more educated Lindsay, while Lindsay is dismayed by Kerrie Ann’s streetwise ways. They immediately clash as Lindsay becomes threatened by Kerrie Ann. Simultaneously, Kerrie Ann struggles with the prospect of losing both her home and her boyfriend and is thrown into even further turmoil when her daughter’s foster parents put in a petition to adopt her. As the two sisters engage in the fiercest battles of their lives, they are drawn together despite their differences.

From the Back Cover:

Is blood really thicker than water? That's the question for Lindsay when her long-lost sister, Kerrie Ann, turns up penniless and in rehab, after an absence of thirty years, and she's forced to take her in. Lindsay was lucky enough to have been adopted by a loving couple and is now the owner of a bookstore in the sleepy California seaside town of Blue Moon Bay. Kerrie Ann suffered a very different fate. Bounced from one foster home to the next, she ran away as a teenager before becoming a drug-addicted single mother. Now, newly sober, Kerrie Ann is fighting to regain custody of the little girl who was taken from her.

As Lindsay and Kerrie Ann struggle to overcome their differences as well as their individual challenges -- Lindsay is keeping her house from the grasp of a rapacious developer, and Kerrie Ann in regaining custody of the child she lost -- they forge new bonds, and along the way fall in love with the unlikeliest of men.
