propriety, unrealized dreams, plus all the complexities that test
and form relationships along the way: from sisterhood to family,
courtship, engagement, friendship, even an encounter with a
charming stranger.” — BookTrib
“The suspense of decisions to be made and secrets to be revealed
are intensified as the sisters travel to each destination. In Three
Words for Goodbye, the anticipation of what lies ahead for Clara
