Relationship troubles, an unexpected baby, and a tragedy no one could have seen coming—this summer, the Benson family has their work cut out for them in this inspirational women’s fiction beach novel from author Grace Palmer. Mae Benson is happy. The sixty-something Nantucket native is a beloved wife, beloved mother, beloved neighbor. But even she wasn’t ready for the heart-wrenching tragedy looming around the corner. Scattered around the Northeast, her children—Eliza, Sara, Holly, and Brent—are gearing up to face problems of their own. In the wake of an unwanted pregnancy, a marriage on the brink of collapse, and a forbidden romance with an off-limits employer, the Benson kids all coming running home to Nantucket, desperate for the safety of home. But there’s no outrunning fate. Though each of the Bensons is brought back to Nantucket by different circumstances, one thing unites them all: love. If they can rediscover their love for themselves and each other this summer at Nantucket’s Sweet Island Inn, then maybe—just maybe—they can come out stronger on the other side.
