Book Synopsis

A 2024 IPPY Award Bronze Medal Winner

"Ladies' Day is beautifully written." --Marlene Adelstein, USA Today bestselling author of Sophie Last Seen

"[A] heartfelt examination of what it means to be and to have a daughter." --Library Journal

Heartache is par for the course.

Fifteen years after her troubled daughter Julie ran away from home, Beth Sawyer stumbles across a newspaper photograph of an up-and-coming teen golfer, who not only shares her last name, but also looks just like her daughter. Sky Sawyer couldn't possibly be her granddaughter--or could she? With her sort-of-functional life spinning out of control--and let's not get started on her soon-to-be-married ex-husband--Beth meets Barry, a fellow golfer whom she accidentally hits with her golf ball. Will he take her to court or to dinner?

When Sky Sawyer joins her high school golf team, she hopes that the mother she thought dead may still be alive and seek her out at the championship tournament. But when she discovers that the man who raised her is not her father and a woman claiming to be her long-lost grandmother appears, her world falls apart.

With Beth and Sky fighting to gain what they both had lost, can they finally get a second chance at a happily ever after?
