The author of The Key to Happily Ever After—"a true gem filled with heart, laughs, and a cast of delightful characters" (Nina Bocci, USA TODAY bestselling author)—returns with a heartwarming and charming novel about a woman who travels to the Philippines to reconnect with her long-lost family...and manages to find herself along the way.
Diana Gallagher-Cary is at a tipping point. As a Washington, DC, OB/GYN at a prestigious hospital, she uses her career to distract herself from her grief over her granny's death and her breakup from her long-term boyfriend after her free-spirited mother moves in with her. But when she makes a medical decision that disparages the hospital, she is forced to go on a short sabbatical.

Never one to wallow, Diana decides to use the break to put order in her life, when her mother, Margo, stumbles upon a box of letters from her grandfather, Antonio Cruz, to her grandmother from the 1940s. The two women always believed that Antonio died in World War II, but the letters reveal otherwise. When they learn that he lived through the war, and that they have surviving relatives in the Philippines, Diana becomes determined to connect with the family that she never knew existed, though Margo refuses to face her history. But Diana pushes on, and heads on a once-in-a-lifetime trip that challenges her identity, family history, and her idea of romantic love that could change her life forever.

Infused with Tif Marcelo's signature "sexy, adorable, and heartfelt" (Kate Meader, USA TODAY bestselling author) voice, Once Upon a Sunset is a moving and lyrical celebration of love, family, and second chances.

      Joy Osmanski narrates the story of a mother and daughter who find their lives turned upside down with the discovery of a stack of letters from family they never knew they had. Diana is a highly capable ob/gyn who perpetually runs from her emotions. Her mother, Margo, is an Instagram fashion superstar working on her bucket list. When Diana makes a judgment call that brings to light a disparity in the treatment of patients of different classes at her hospital, she finds herself on forced sabbatical and seeking out her family history in the Philippines. Osmanski's performance is loving and careful as she shares Tagalog terms of endearment and emphasizes the joys and frustrations of mother-daughter relationships. The audiobook is narrated beautifully, and listening is a joy. V.B. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
