Darlene Caldwell has spent a lifetime tending Sycamores, an estate where she reigns as queen… until her limelight-stealing twin sister unexpectedly returns. Carlene Caldwell, veteran of the Broadway stage, is devastated when throat surgery spells the end of her career. She retreats to Sycamores, her childhood home. Magnolia Caldwell has never wanted to live anywhere but Sycamores, but when she meets a man haunted by his own tragedy, she must find the courage to cut the apron strings that tie her to a dear and familiar place.
