After widow Marti Geller, died having battled with cancer, her three complex but distinctly different adult daughters, are both taken aback by the terms of her prescriptive Will but also by the video which makes the girls wonder if they ever knew their mother! Why is Marti so adamant that the beloved family vacation home in Mount Desert Island, Maine be sold promptly? Is she trying to manage her daughters from the grave, or is she just attempting to bring them closer together?

The Geller sisters’ lives and their relationships with each other are very complicated. Their mother, Marti, isn’t the only member of the family with long-held secrets; the girls are harbouring several of their own. Each daughter is living with a secret, which is based on a lie about themselves; painting a slightly skewed picture of her life to the other two. Will their mother’s death be the impetus for the women to divulge the truth and embrace new possibilities?

Eldest daughter Beck, is disinclined to sell the summer cottage, whereas the younger two Claire and Sophie, who are at the crossroads in their lives, are reluctant to keep it.  C.J. Reynolds, who has recently been released from prison has returned to the island and is very anxious to buy the property; he has a shared past history with one of the women.

Author, Therese Anne Fowler’s, book ‘It All Comes Down To This’ is not only a story about choice, fate and coincidence but also explores the notion of being true to yourself. With its many twists and turns, the reader will find this ‘Sister Story’ a light holiday read.
