Our place on the island : a novel / Erika Montgomery.

Montgomery, Erika, (author.).

Summary:

"For decades, the Campbell women have reunited at the family's rambling seaside cottage known as Beech House to celebrate life's many occasions. But this year, they will be called back to Martha's Vineyard for a celebration of a different sort: their beloved matriarch Cora is getting remarried. And all the town gossips are calling him the one who got away, years ago ... For renowned chef Mickey Campbell, this wedding isn't just a welcome excuse to return to the place she first learned to cook at her grandmother's side. It's also a chance to regroup while she figures out a way to tell her smoldering head chef boyfriend that she's mismanaged their restaurant into the red. Mickey's mother, Hedy, is still mourning the passing of her adored father three years earlier, and she isn't sure she's ready to welcome a new man into the fold--and she's not certain her own thorny relationship with her mother will weather the storm of her upcoming marriage. But everyone knows a woman's heart holds more than meets the eye. For Cora, drawing her daughter and granddaughter back to Beech House isn't just about a ceremony, but a chance to reveal a history she has kept close to her heart for decades. As the days leading up to the wedding unfold, secrets of Cora's past come to light-- a secret that will cause three generations of Campbell women to question marriage, motherhood, and ultimately learn to savor the delicious joy of following your own heart."-- Provided by publisher.
