INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER The book equivalent of a beach
getaway.--PopSugar A stunning debut.--BookRiot The instant national
bestseller about the generations of a family that spends summers in
a seaside enclave on Maine's rocky coastline, for fans of Elin
Hilderbrand and Beatriz Williams 1944: Maren Larsen is a blonde
beauty from a small Minnesota farming town, determined to do her
part to help the war effort--and to see the world beyond her
family's cornfields. As a cadet nurse at Walter Reed Medical
Center, she's swept off her feet by Dr. Oliver Demarest, a handsome
Boston Brahmin whose family spends summers in an insular community
on the rocky coast of Maine. 1970: As the nation grapples with the
ongoing conflict in Vietnam, Oliver and Maren are grappling with
their fiercely independent seventeen-year-old daughter, Annie, who
has fallen for a young man they don't approve of. Before the summer
is over a terrible tragedy will strike the Demarests--and in the
aftermath, Annie vows never to return to Haven Point. 2008: Annie's
daughter, Skye, has arrived in Maine to help scatter her mother's
ashes. Maren knows that her granddaughter inherited Annie's view of
Haven Point: despite the wild beauty and quaint customs, the
regattas and clambakes and sing-alongs, she finds the place--and
the people--snobbish and petty. But Maren also knows that Annie
never told Skye the whole truth about what happened during that
fateful summer. Over seven decades of a changing America, through
wars and storms, betrayals and reconciliations, Virginia Hume's
Haven Point explores what it means to belong to a place, and to a
family, which holds as tightly to its traditions as it does its
secrets.
