Lolly, still lives in the family cabin on Lost Land Lake where her mother gave her the charm bracelet that would become Lolly's talisman and connection to family past and Lolly hopes the present, but her daughter, Arden, and granddaughter, Lauren, haven't visited in years and time is running out for Lolly. Arden, couldn't wait to leave her small town life behind for Chicago, but now divorced and burned out at work, she's simply trying to make it from day to day. In the rush of life she's let the years and all the things she once enjoyed slip away. When she receives an unexpected phone call about her mother she must decide if she can face going home. Lauren, a talented young painter buries her passion to study business in the hopes of helping her mother after she discovers that her father left Arden struggling to make ends meet, but Lauren is slowly dying inside and doesn't know how to tell her mother the truth"-- Provided by publisher.

Charming submitted by mickplu on August 7, 2017, 2:52pm A grandmother, her daughter, and granddaughter all gather at the grandmother's cabin in Michigan to rekindle memories. The memories are supplied by the charm bracelet worn by the grandmother and each is comforting and homey as a quilt. Loved the Michigan setting and charm bracelet theme. How can that not remind you of your grandma
Unrealistic submitted by pamhockey25 on August 8, 2022, 4:42pm Set in Michigan, this book is pretty far fetched. The author is a man, who is writing under a women's name and I didn't feel like the characters were very realistic.
