Christy Award winner!
To hear Beatrice Agnew tell it, she entered the world with her mouth tightly shut. Just because she finds out she’s dying doesn’t mean she can’t keep it that way. If any of her children have questions about their daddy and the choices she made after he abandoned them, they’d best take it up with Jesus. There’s no room in Granny B’s house for regrets or hand-holding. Or so she thinks.

Her granddaughter, Evelyn Lester, shows up on Beatrice’s doorstep anyway, burdened with her own secret baggage. Determined to help her Granny B mend fences with her far-flung brood, Evelyn turns her grandmother’s heart and home inside out. Evelyn’s meddling uncovers a tucked-away box of old letters, forcing the two women to wrestle with their past and present pain as they confront the truth Beatrice has worked a lifetime to hide.

About the Author:

Robin W. Pearson's writing sprouts from her Southern upbringing, her belief in Jesus Christ, and her love of her husband, her seven children, and their dog, Oscar. Her novels are "rooted in the soul of the story" and include her Christy Award–winning debut. After correcting grammar up and down the East Coast, this editor and homeschooling mama has settled on her North Carolina sofa in her pajamas and orange beanie. Follow her on robinwpearson.com.
