Renting out three bedrooms and setting up a bed-and-breakfast of sorts, widow Sandra Pennington is eager to try and build a community of like-minded mature women for companionship and support during a summer of self-discovery, renewal and the healing power of friendship. Original. - Random House, Inc.
Like Elin Hildebrandâs Nantucket novels, Holly Chamberlinâs Maine-set summer reads are perfect for the beachâheartwarming, engaging, and emotionally satisfying. In her latest novel set in the charming town of Yorktide, four older women come together under one roof for an unforgettable summer of self-discovery, renewal, and the healing power of friendship. A delight for fans of Nancy Thayer, Shelley Noble, and Pamela Kelley.
A rambling house on the coast of Maine is the perfect setting for this poignant novel of self-discovery and renewal, as four strangers decide to spend a summer together . . .
Sandra Pennington has lived through enough Maine winters to know how long they can be. Even in April, Yorktide is chilly and muddy, adding to Sandraâs pangs of loneliness. Itâs been five years since her husband died, her dearest friend is in a care facility, her children are grown, and the big house is suddenly terribly empty. But Sandra has a plan: to rent out three bedrooms and set up a summer bed and breakfast of sorts.
There will be challenges, of course, and Sandraâs daughter is concerned. But Sandra is eager to try and build a community of like-minded, mature women for companionship and support. Soon, one by one, her chosen housemates arrive . . .
Mary, recently retired, is ready to discard her tough lawyer façade. Patty refuses to revealâor actâher age, but beneath her flightiness lies a deep vulnerability. High-school teacher Amanda feels uncertain about where her long-term relationship is going. But surely itâs too late now to change course?
Over arguments and laughter, these very different women get to know each otherâand themselves. And while summer is always too short, thereâll be time enough for reinvention, reflectionâand realizing itâs never too late to keep growing, changingâand making new friends . . .
