Roy and Rosalind Vines left their home and families when they married. They started a new life and their own family. Their two daughters, Lola and Janie Ray, complete the happy family. When Rosalind suddenly falls ill, Roy must swallow his pride and anger to ask his family for financial help. He hitches a ride back to his hometown to face his parents and his twin brother. He finds out that his first wife, the one he left for Rosalind, passed away years before. Her son, conceived while they were still married but not his, has been raised by his parents with help from the boy's real but unacknowledged father, Roy's twin Mont. The son has had a minor run in with the local law, so Roy's parents propose a deal: take the boy back with him for the summer while the gossip blows over and they will give him the money he needs. Of course, Luke has been told his father ran out on him years before, so he's not happy to be sent away with Roy. Roy can't hardly stand that Luke doesn't know the truth about his real father, but in order to save his beloved wife, he will do it.
This was a "Free Friday" book on my Nook, and I was pleasantly surprised. While the story and its ending may be fairly predictable, the characters were believable and the overall story was entertaining.
