Not Far From The Peach Tree

Anxiety has become the only thing Abigail Hartley can count on. Jobless, dreamless, loveless and stuck living with her parents—this isn’t the 22 she had in mind.

But when tragic news rattles the Hartley household and years of secrecy begin to surface, Abigail can no longer hide behind her fears. She joins forces with her sarcastic, pre-teen sister and heads to the only place that might have the answers she’s looking for. One month in Georgia is all it takes to change everything Abigail knows about, well, everything.

What an interesting book title. Not far from the Peach Tree was not what I was expecting from the synopsis, but it’s a great read. Two sisters have an unexpected adventure to find out the secrets of their family’s past. The story is told from the older sister point of view. Abigail has lost her way. She has finished school but doesn’t know what direction to take her life in.

Her mother and grandmother are estranged. Abigail wanted to know her grandmother, but now it’s too late. Her mother is struggling to let go of old feuds. Abigail wants to know about her family. Against her mother's wish’s, the two sisters go to the home of their grandmother. What they find is a loveable quiet town with a great community. It’s a different world to the city they grew up in. As they uncover the secrets of their grandmother's house they find the town also holds so many memories. Will their mother come around when she discovers where the girls have gone? Can the secrets of a town come to life? And can Abigail find herself?

This is a fun story with a few hidden twists. It has a romance element and the sisters discover more than they bargained for. 4.5 stars out of 5. *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
