In this heartwarming summer read for fans of Susan Mallery and Mary
Alice Monroe, a grieving woman returns to a childhood haunt as she
searches for a new beginning and along the way finds love--and
family--where she least expected it.
When her gram passes away, Melanie Simpson feels utterly lost. But her
grandmother's will gives her a purpose: an inheritance to buy a
crumbling house in Rosemary Bay. Returning to the village where she'd
spent summers with gram and walking the beach where they'd had so many
fun-filled days brings Melanie comfort as well as hope.
On her first night in her new hometown, Melanie meets local contractor
and landowner Josh Claiborne, whose eyes match the dazzling sea. Melanie
plans to restore the beach house to its original glory, and Josh is the
perfect person to help renovate the wrap-around porch weathered by the
coastal breeze and the peeling white paint faded by the sun.
But hiding in a closet is a yellowing stack of letters that could change
everything. The looping handwriting reveals the mystery of the rickety
house--a long-lost secret that touches everyone in Rosemary Bay. Will
its revelations bring Melanie and Josh together or tear them apart?
