About A Mother Like Mine:

Following the unexpected death of her fiancé, Abby Rhodes returned to Hartley-by-the-Sea, finding solace in the familiarity of her childhood home. With her small son in tow, Abby has thrown herself into taking care of her ailing grandmother and running their family’s café. While this is not the future she once dreamed for herself, she and her son have managed to find a place in the world and life is finally getting back on track—that is, until the sudden return of her prodigal mother.

After years of estrangement, Laura Rhodes is determined to make things right with her daughter. Saying goodbye to her glamorous life in New York, Laura is unsure what to expect when she returns to Hartley-by-the-Sea. She knows that after a lifetime of absence and neglect, reestablishing a mother-daughter bond will be no easy task. But following a rocky start to their reluctant reunion, Abby slowly opens up as the heartbreaking secrets of Laura’s past come to light and she realizes there are depths to her mother that she never expected. And when tragedy strikes, the two women must rely on each other more than ever as their lives become increasingly intertwined.
