RaeAnne Thayne

Large print - 2025

"Raised by her literary icon father Carson Wells, Alison Wells always felt loved, even though her mother died when she was a teen. But when she takes a DNA test on a whim and discovers she has a sister she never knew about, it's clear there are things her father didn't tell her before he died. Determined to meet Juniper-her half-sister-and unravel the truth of what happened all those years ago, Ali finds herself taking a job as Juniper's intern. She'll eventually figure out a way to tell Juniper the truth of their relationship. But she never could have imagined what would happen next . . . Juniper Connolly has always been incredibly healthy . . . until she wakes up in the hospital after experiencing cardiac arrest, ...with her new-and recently fired-intern to thank for saving her life. It's clear June needs to de-stress her life a little, so when Ali offers her the use of her family's cabin in a small Wyoming town, June has no reason not to go. But when she arrives, her life will never be the same. Under the wide-open spaces of the Wyoming summer sun, Ali and June will untangle the secrets and lies their lives were built on to discover who they really are and what family really means. But even more than that, they'll build a real relationship with one another and finally become sisters."--

Review by Booklist Review

A DNA test links two women who both lost their mothers in their teens. Juniper, head of marketing for a tech company, never knew her father, who died when she was a month old. Allison was raised in quaint, small-town Bridger Peak, Wyoming by Carson, a revered, award-winning author. When Allison saves Juniper's life via CPR, she invites her to recuperate at her late father's writing retreat in Wyoming--and holds off on telling her about the DNA test results. Juniper's most prized possession is her mother's signed and personalized first edition of Carson's debut novel, and now she meets the author's two literary trustees, Allison and next-door neighbor Beckett, a furniture-making former prosecutor. Reading through Caron's old journals, Juniper and Beckett come to believe there could be a second novel that had been hidden and never published. Meanwhile, Allison reunites with her childhood best friend Xander, an international travel vlogger, as they look for the missing manuscript. Continuing her tradition of strong relationships, Thayne's latest includes close-knit communities, real-life issues, and mature romance.
