Thirty-five years ago Kathleen fled her home, desperate to cast off weights of poverty and shame. But an unexpected invitation from her sister unwittingly draws her back to that sleepy New York town, her own daughter in tow.

A trip meant to salvage her relationship with her daughter changes course as Kathleen reexamines her own childhood. But even more enlightening are the stories of Eleanor, her once-vibrant mother, and Fiona, the grandmother she barely knew.

The more Kathleen learns, the more answers she seeks concerning her familys mysterious past. Yet with the past exposed, Kathleen is torn between her need to forgive and the urge to forget.

Lynn Austin weaves a beautiful story of relationships,(most between mothers and daughters) and how understanding and sharing our pasts helps us understand our present. This is the third book I have read by Lynn Austin. She is such a gifted writer! I could hardly put the book down. I HIGHLY recommend this book!!! She has become one of my favorite authors. All She Ever Wanted is a very well-written book about relationships and the necessity of forgiveness. As Kathleen Seymour discovers the truth about the pasts of her mother and grandmother, she and her daughter Joelle begin to mend their torn relationship. Kathleen learns that when hard times occur, running away from them is not the best answer.
