Flight Patterns

The New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels tells the story of a woman coming home to the family she left behind--and to the woman she always wanted to be....

Georgia Chambers has spent her life sifting through other people's pasts while trying to forget her own. But then her work as an expert on fine china--especially Limoges--requires her to return to the one place she swore she'd never revisit....

It has been ten years since Georgia left her family home on the coast of Florida, and nothing much has changed except that there are fewer oysters and more tourists. She finds solace in seeing her grandfather still toiling away in the apiary where she spent much of her childhood, but encountering her estranged mother and sister leaves her rattled.

Seeing them after all this time makes Georgia realize that something has been missing--and unless she finds a way to heal these rifts, she will forever be living vicariously through other people's remnants. To embrace her own life--mistakes and all--she will have to find the courage to confront the ghosts of her past and the secrets she was forced to keep....

This book was a little bit of a slow starter but I definitely enjoyed it! However there were times that parts of the storyline seemed a bit far fetched. I will read more in this series though.

Generally I enjoy Karen White’s novels. Her writing is lovely. This particular Karen White book lost my interest early on with a far fetched premise. I took a break and went back to it only to find that the plot did not get better. It was predictable and there were too many coincidences. I guess I’m in the minority on this one but I couldn’t recommend it.
