Synopsis

Madison Lansford and Shannon Fletcher met when they were ten years old. Madison—daughter of wealthy parents and Shannon, daughter of their live-in maid and cook—became fast friends, yet both knew their place in life.

There was never a doubt that they would become lovers . . . there was also never a doubt that Madison would marry and maintain her social standing in the community. Little by little, they grew apart, their love affair ending with Madison's marriage and pregnancy.

Now, years later, Shannon returns to her old hometown to care for her ailing mother. Can they rebuild their friendship? Or will their new-found closeness bring back memories of their long-lost love?

Travel through the years with Shannon and Madison and watch their love unfold as they move from teens to young women and into adulthood.

Goodreads review by Jem on August 20, 2014

This book got a couple of strongly-worded negative reviews, about it having a rehashed plot, etc. But this is my first Gerri Hill romance so that's not a problem for me. I'm glad I took a chance on it cause it rocks! What attracted my attention was the rich girl/poor girl premise of the book. I love......more
