Best of Everything - Paperback

by Susan Staneslow Olesen (Author)

The exciting conclusion to the Best Intentions series. It's been a dream for seven years. Seven long, agonizing years since Sarah was ripped from her family, and now she's actually coming home. A new home, a new guardian, a new chance at happiness - or is it? A lot of water went under the bridge in her absence, and nothing is the same. Baby Marina is a pesty eight, Katya is married, Galina about to be, Valeria is involved, and even Vlad turns his head after girls. Sarah's the lonely one who can't seem to grow up. Burning with old guilt, smothered by unforgiven shame, emotionally strangled by horrors in her past, Sarah's being forced to learn new rules, forge new relationships, accept new standards to live by, all without Dmitri to hold her together. And just when she feels it might be safe to trust herself, guess who's coming back to his family?
