Through an heirloom charm bracelet, three women will rediscover the importance of family and a passion for living as each charm changes their lives.

On her birthday each year, Lolly’s mother gave her a charm, along with the advice that there is nothing more important than keeping family memories alive, and so Lolly’s charm bracelet would be a constant reminder of that love.

Now seventy and starting to forget things, Lolly knows time is running out to reconnect with a daughter and granddaughter whose lives have become too busy for Lolly or her family stories.

But when Arden, Lolly’s daughter, receives an unexpected phone call about her mother, she and granddaughter Lauren rush home. Over the course of their visit, Lolly reveals the story behind each charm on her bracelet, and one by one the family stories help Lolly, Arden, and Lauren reconnect in a way that brings each woman closer to finding joy, love, and faith.

The story of three generations of women, this was my second attempt at a Viola Shipman novel (I didn’t quite click with an earlier book). As a life-long Michigan resident, though, I wanted to give it another go.

This was such a fun, sweet story, but (unsurprisingly) I wasn’t a fan of the split timeline. I would have been happy to stay in Arden’s or Lolly’s heads for the whole time. Still, it was fun to see the characters grow and connect.

If you’re a fan of the multi-generational female story, I highly recommend this book.

Rated PG.
