Set in the weeks leading up to an idyllic New England wedding, this
"enticing and refreshing" (Nancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling
author) novel sparkles with wry wit, sweet romance, and long-kept
family secrets.Iris Standish has always been the responsible older
sibling: the one with the steady marriage, loving family, and
sensible job. But all of a sudden, as her carefully-constructed
life spins out of her control, a cryptic postcard from her
estranged sister Leah arrives at the perfect time: Please Come.
Iris seizes her chance to escape to her childhood lakeside home,
where Leah is planning her summer wedding to a man their New
Hampshire clan has never met. Against a backdrop of dress fittings,
floral arrangements, and rehearsal dinners, Leah hides secrets of
her own. And while her sister faces a past that has finally caught
up to her, Iris prepares to say good-bye to a future that is
suddenly far from certain. As new love beckons and Hampstead Lake
shimmers in the background, Iris must decide when to wade in
cautiously and when to dive--and, ultimately, how to ferry herself
to safe harbors in this enticing novel of second chances and the
ties that bind.

young man from her past who has also returned home, and whose life
has taken a turn that puts Maggie's city struggles in harsh

true to the person she's become. Set against the gorgeous backdrop
of a New England summer when past and present collide, Mystic
