Book Description

Still reeling from the unexpected death of her husband of twenty-six years, Lizzie Wentworth is shocked to discover the depleted state of their finances.

She needs to make a decision fast. At forty-five years old, change doesn’t come easy.

Her three adult children are very supportive, but there are still difficult decisions looming ahead for her.

To make matters worse, she receives a phone call from her Aunt, that her beloved grandmother has passed away.

She makes a phone call to her four sisters to let them know of Gram’s passing. When they all meet for Gram's funeral at the large beach house on Martha’s Vineyard, for Lizzie it feels like coming home.

Lizzie and her sisters were raised by Grandfather and Grandmother Stafford after her parents died in a boating accident when she was only eleven years old.

Being back on the Island together again, forces Lizzie to see how much her and her sisters have fallen apart over the years. And their conversations lead to more unspoken secrets and unsolved mysteries.

When Lizzie unexpected runs into her old high school boyfriend, Jonathan Brookes, she is bewildered as feelings that she thought long dead, begin to be revived.

Another surprise is waiting, when Gram's lawyer announces that Lizzie has inherited the large old beach cottage along the waterfront. As the sisters must unravel the mysteries of their grandmother's final wishes, but as they do, they uncover long-buried family secrets that threaten to tear them apart.

As Lizzie begins to dream of starting her own inn, fear and doubt creeps in. Will she be able to start this new business idea with the small amount of money left? Will she be able to endure living so close to the one man she loved and lost?
