Once in a blue moon [large print] / by Goudge, Eileen.(CARDINAL)765005;
Is blood really thicker than water? That's the question for Lindsay when her long lost sister, Kerrie Ann, turns up penniless and in rehab, after an absence of thirty years, and she's forced to take her in. Lindsay was lucky enough to have been adopted by a loving couple and is now the owner of a bookstore in the sleepy California seaside town of Blue Moon Bay. Kerrie Ann suffered a very different fate. Bounced from one foster home to the next, she ran away as a teenager before becoming a drug addicted single mother. Now, newly sober, Kerrie Ann is fighting to regain custody of the little girl who was taken from her. As Lindsay and Kerrie Ann struggle to overcome their differences as well as their individual challenges, Lindsay is keeping her house from the grasp of a rapacious developer, and Kerrie Ann in regaining custody of the child she lost, they forge new bonds, and along the way fall in love with the unlikeliest of men.
