The Family Gathering

Posted on 05 October 2018 by Robyn Carr

An exceptional storyteller, 1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr beautifully captures the emotionally charged, complex dynamics that come with being part of any family Readers will laugh and shed a few tears as they discover what it means to be loved, supported and accepted by the people who mean the most.Having left the military, Dakota Jones is at a crossroads in his life With his elder brother and youngest sister happily settled in Sullivan s Crossing, he shows up hoping to clear his head before moving on to his next adventure But, like every visitor to the Crossing, he s immediately drawn to the down to earth people and the seemingly simple way of life.Dakota is unprepared for how quickly things get complicated As a newcomer, he is on everyone s radar especially the single women in town While he enjoys the attention at first, he s really only attracted to the one woman who isn t interested And spending quality time with his siblings is eye opening As he gets to know them, he also gets to know himself and what he truly wants.When all the Jones siblings gather for a family wedding, the four adults are drawn together for the first time in a way they never were as children As they struggle to accept each other, warts and all, the true nature and strength of their bond is tested But all of them come to realize that your family are the people who see you for who you really are and love you anyway And for Dakota, that truth allows him to find the home and family he s always wanted.
