Call the Canaries Home by Laura Barrow

 

From Goodreads

Three estranged sisters reconnect in their Louisiana hometown to face an unresolved past in a heartfelt novel about family, grief, secrets, and forgiveness.

Savannah was four years old when her twin sister, Georgia, went missing from their small Louisiana town, fracturing their family. Twenty-eight years later, Savannah convinces her estranged older sisters, Rayanne and Sue Ellen, to honor the pact they made as children and retrieve the time capsule they buried in their old backyard. But coming home means confronting old ghosts…and their stubborn grandmother, Meemaw.

Sifting through the artifacts, they come across a photograph taken on the day Georgia disappeared and spot a familiar woman lingering in the background. While Sue Ellen and Rayanne want to move on with their lives, Savannah is determined to find the woman—and perhaps a clue to the past.

When old tensions, rivalries, and memories resurface, the sisters must reconsider what they thought they knew about that fateful day, about each other, and about themselves. On their search to uncover what happened to Georgia, each of them will discover what Meemaw has known all along: family is everything.

My thoughts

I grabbed a copy of this from Kindle Unlimited.  To be honest I can't say that I had heard too much about it, but I was drawn to it by the synopsis.

Telling the story of three estranged sisters living in a small town in Louisiana.  When one of the twin sisters Georgia goes missing, the family is devastated and never the same again.  Many years later a time capsule that they buried is retrieved and on opening it, so a can of worms is also opened as a photo taken on the day that Georgia went missing poses questions that Savannah wants to find answers too.  

What happened to Georgia the fourth sister and Savannah's twin?  Can this photo help solve any answers or not?

I enjoyed this story about a dysfunctional family of estranged sisters and their grandmother Meemaw.  At times it was a little hard work trying to keep track of the characters and their stories, but on the whole it was an enjoyable read.  I was desperate to find out what had happened to Georgia and the significance of the photo.
