Tajna sreće

Tajna sreće

Melissa Senate

Is the half-sister Rebecca Strand never met short? Tall? Rich? Poor? Pretty? Witty? Married? Lonely? Happy? A great story written by an outstanding new writer. Rebecca will find out.

A paralegal from New York thought she would never get rid of her fast-paced lifestyle and handsome lawyer boyfriend and their quirky apartment. The shocking discovery that she has a half-sister who is the fruit of her father's long-ago summer adventure will lead her to a coastal town in Maine. But when Rebecca gets there, nothing will go according to plan, and her half-sister will not be thrilled with her arrival at all. Step-sister Joy already has her own life, family and business: she organizes bus trips for singles, actually excursions that bring lovers together, heal broken hearts and change lives. Rebecca joins a group of hikers in hopes of finding her way to Joy's heart and finally having a sister. But as she spends more and more time with Joy and women posing as members of the Wiscasset Divorced Women's Club, and begins a flirtation with a very handsome local carpenter, Rebecca realizes that her life and her heart are ready for healing and change... and that sometimes she needs to take on the challenge .
