From the acclaimed author of Sailing Lessons and Mystic Summer--a
"charming gem of a novel" (Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times
bestselling author)--an evocative and moving tale about what it
means to be a family, set over the course of one unforgettable
Connecticut summer. Siblings Perry, Jake, and Phoebe Goodwin were
raised on the shore of a beautiful Connecticut lake in a close-knit
family. The eldest of the family, forty-two-year-old Perry has long
craved order as surely as his charismatic younger brother, Jake,
has avoided it. Phoebe, their baby sister, courts both. As adults,
the Goodwin siblings could not be more different. Perry is as
married to his career in New York as a risk analyst as Phoebe is to
her college sweetheart, but both have returned to Connecticut to
raise their young families. Charismatic Jake, however, has spent
his years living away wanderlust and unable to settle. The three
have not spent much time together...until this summer. On the
afternoon of their grandmother's ninety-seventh birthday party, the
siblings reunite at the lake house where Jake stuns the family with
a stranger on his arm and an announcement. Olivia Cossette,
daughter of a French chef, does not share the traditional Goodwin
New England upbringing or sense of family. What she does share is
parenthood, as the single mother of a little girl who does not
speak. While the Goodwin family struggle to welcome the newcomers
over the course of the summer, a series of bad choices made by each
family member finally unravels, leaving them all to question just
what truly makes a family. Can one fateful moment on a July
afternoon undo a lifetime of good intentions? Only one thing is for
certain--this extraordinary summer has irrevocably changed the
Goodwin family and all that remains is the uncertain future. With
Hannah McKinnon's signature "enticing and refreshing" (Nancy
Thayer, New York Times bestselling author) prose, this is a
warm-hearted novel that is perfect for fans of Mary Alice Monroe's
the Beach House series and the works of Elin Hilderbrand.
