From Booklist
Jewelry designer Rachel's mother never seemed interested in her, so, when the family vacationed each summer at Highland Beach, Rachel hung out at her neighbor's house where Julia, an artist, lavished attention on the love-starved girl. Years later, Julia has died, and Rachel is surprised to find not only that Julia had a son but also that she has left the cottage on the beach to both of them. Saxophone-playing attorney Lucas can't believe that his mother would leave half of what should rightfully be his to some woman who got far more attention from her than he ever did. But through all the hurt and jealousy, Rachel and Lucas finally manage to see each other for who they really are, and they like what they see. Kitt has skillfully penned a thoughtful and genuinely emotional story about family relations, secrets, healing, and forgiveness. The latest in Kitt's Sizzling Sands series, it, too, features sorority sister alumni of Howard University. Shelley Mosley
