Winner of the 2018 PNWA Nancy Pearl Award
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nan Rossiter brings
together characters from her acclaimed novel Nantucket in a powerful,
heartwarming love story that bridges past and present.
When Liam Tate was seven years old, his uncle Cooper opened his heart
and his Nantucket home to him. In the intervening decades, Liam has
found both love and loss on the island, and since learning of his son
Levi's existence, a new kind of happiness. Yet one piece of his family
history remains elusive--the long-ago romance between his uncle and
Sally Adams. Now Sally has a revelation that sets the whole town abuzz:
She's publishing a book about what happened during the summer when she
and Cooper first met, painting a picture so vivid it feels like
yesterday . . .
In 1969, Winston Ellis Cooper III lands on Nantucket with only a duffel
bag and a bottle of Jack Daniels. He finds a sparsely furnished beach
cottage, about as far from Vietnam as he can get. But even here, Cooper
can't withdraw from the world entirely. Especially once his eyes meet
Sally's in the flickering lights of a summer dance. The effects of that
fiery affair can still be felt decades later. And as the story unfolds,
there are new lessons for all to learn about life's triumphs and
heartaches, and about loving enough to let go.
