Her three adult children offer support, yet the weight of the choices ahead feels overwhelming. As if that weren’t enough, a call from her aunt brings news of her beloved grandmother’s passing.
Returning to Martha’s Vineyard for Gram’s funeral, Lizzie reconnects with her four sisters at the family’s large beach house. Memories flood back of being raised by Grandfather and Grandmother Stafford after losing their parents in a boating accident when Lizzie was just eleven. But being together again forces them to confront how far apart they’ve drifted, along with secrets and unresolved tensions long buried.
An unexpected encounter with her high school sweetheart, Jonathan Brookes, stirs emotions Lizzie thought she had long buried. And when Gram’s lawyer reveals Lizzie has inherited the family’s historic beach cottage, the sisters must navigate her grandmother’s final wishes—uncovering hidden truths that could either mend or shatter their bond.
As Lizzie dreams of transforming the cottage into her own inn, she faces doubts about money, love, and the courage to start over. A heartwarming story of family, forgiveness, and new beginnings, this novel will hold you spellbound from first page to last.
