Lavender Bay Chronicles

Debbie Melvin grew up believing the Cooks were the family she should have had. Her own? Difficult at best. But when her sharp-tongued mother's accident forces them together, the past comes to light, revealing painful truths that leaves Debbie with more questions than answers.Louise Cook and Gail Campbell are as close as sisters can be-twin flames, some say. To outsiders, it's always seemed that way. But there was a time when it wasn't. In the turbulent 1970s, their bond was frayed by flying hairbrushes and slammed doors. Then, on a sweltering night in the summer of 1975, everything changed. A single event drew them together-but not without cost. Unfortunately, not everyone escaped unscathed, and the events of that night reverberated down through to the next generation.
