Debbie Macomber, author of the Blossom Street and Cedar Cove series, delivers an inspiring new stand-alone novel about the enduring bond between sisters, the power of forgiveness, and a second chance at love.
 
Growing up, Cassie Carter and her sisters, Karen and Nichole, were incredibly close€"until one fateful event drove them apart. After high school, Cassie ran away from home to marry the wrong man, throwing away a college scholarship and breaking her parents€ hearts. To make matters worse, Cassie had always been their father€s favorite€"a sentiment that weighed heavily on her sisters and made Cassie€s actions even harder to bear.
 
Now thirty-one, Cassie is back in Washington, living in Seattle with her daughter and hoping to leave her past behind. After ending a difficult marriage, Cassie is back on her own two feet, the pieces of her life slowly but surely coming together. Despite the strides Cassie€s made, she hasn€t been able to make peace with her sisters. Karen, the oldest, is a busy wife and mother, balancing her career with raising her two children. And Nichole, the youngest, is a stay-at-home mom whose husband indulges her every whim. Then one day, Cassie receives a letter from Karen, offering what Cassie thinks may be a chance to reconcile. And as Cassie opens herself up to new possibilities€"making amends with her sisters, finding love once more€"she realizes the power of compassion, and the promise of a fresh start.
 
A wonderful novel of perseverance and trust, and an exciting journey through life€s challenges and joys, Last One Home is Debbie Macomber at the height of her talents.
