Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah

Very moving story about a family learning about themselves and their history through love and loss.  The father has been the glue of this family from the beginning.  When he dies the girls are forced to learn to deal with their mother.  During their younger years she has always told them fairy tales and now they are learning that it really was their family history.  The ending moved me to tears.  Hannah did a beautiful job weaving all of this together, she is such a joy to read.
