About the book
It was all that Constantia and Josephine—the daughters of the late Colonel Pinner—could do to bury their father. Neither of them believed he wouldn’t be back to thump his stick on the floor and criticize them for their impertinence.
Contemplating the sisters’ future a week after the funeral, Con remembers times in her life when she wasn’t either taking care of the tyrannical colonel, or avoiding him. Does she have strength enough to pursue the thing she’s always wanted, or will she and her sister continue to live lives indefinitely postponed?
