Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I am a sucker for coming of age books and found this by doing a random search. This is an excellent book about a couple of girls growing up after their mother has decided to leave them for brighter things. I really got involved in this book. The author did an great job of making me feel that I was part of the family in which she was writing. A very moving book for me. I wish she just had another book, she is a excellent story teller.

Every summer, Jessie and Emma leave their suburban home in the Central Valley of California and fly north to Baymont. Nestled among Mendocino's golden hills, with ponies to love and endless acres to explore, Baymond should be a child's paradise. But Baymont belongs to Laurel, the firls' birth mother, whose heedless parenting and tainted judgement cast a long shadow over the sisters' summers---and their lives. Caught in a web of allegiences, the girls learn again and again that every loyalty has its price, and that even forgiveness can take unexpected turns. Years later, when Laurel asks her elder daughter for the ultimate gift, Jessie must decide just how much to give in the name of love. Luminous and poignant, Give is the story of one family's troubled quest to redeem the mistakes of the past and a stirring testament to the bonds of sisterhood.

Laurel agrees to give up the children to Len and he marries the babysitter, Sarah.
What makes this novel unique and compelling, is that it isn’t the story of Len and Laurel or Sarah. It’s Jesse and Emma’s story. Their bond and their conflicting loyalties for the mother that gave them life and the mother that raised them.
Powerful, epic saga.
