A hopeful and emotional novel about twists of fate, enduring
friendships, and life's never-ending surprises by New York Times
bestselling author Mariah Stewart.
In the decade since Emma Dean's husband died, she's maintained a
peaceful and organized life in her hometown of Wyndham Beach--until she
finds evidence of her husband's longtime affair. How, Emma wonders, can
a man who's been gone for ten years still break her heart?
Still reeling from the betrayal, Emma must focus on the group of artists
she's invited to take up residence at the art center she founded, one of
whom is secretly seeking refuge from her abusive ex. Toss in a charming
businessman who's returned to town with eyes for only Emma, and it's
becoming a most interesting summer.
And the biggest surprise of all is about to ring Emma's doorbell and
turn her life completely upside down yet again.
As Emma struggles between what was and what is, she discovers that the
life she really wants--however unexpected--is just within reach, if
she's willing to fight for it.
