Tomorrow About This Time — Grace Livingston Hill

When lovely young Silver Greeves's grandmother died, her last words were "Go to him. He needs you." Meeting her father for the first time, Silver was touched by his tenderness -- and yet he seemed so defeated and alone. Then she met Athalie, her violent stepsister, whose wanton rages were dishonoring the family name. Suddenly, Silver knew exactly why she had come: to bring peace, gentleness and love into her father's home.
