Why I read it: I LOVE this series and have really enjoyed all the other books before this one.
Blurb (story line): While laid up in bed, Lillian Warwick starts reflecting on the time when she fell in love with her husband Oliver, back in 1955. The book switched back and forth between 1955 and present-day. It told the story of how Lillian and Oliver met all the way up until he proposed to her. Her parents thought he wasn't good enough for her and disowned her once she got together with him. In the Present Day in Cape Light, Lucy Bates is struggling to get through Nursing School, and Sarah and Luke finally get married.
My personal thoughts and comments: I really enjoyed this book, hearing the story of how Lillian and Oliver met almost made me see Lillian in a different way...though I'm surprised that after what her parents did to her, she was so adamant in her feelings against Emily's first marriage (Sarah's father) and Sarah's relationship with Luke. I would've also liked to have heard more about Lillian and Oliver after they were married, and even when Jessica and Emily were children, and also the scandal which forced the family to move out of Lilac Hall.
