About this audiobook
"Warm, witty, and atmospheric… This is the perfect summer read." — Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author
Nantucket is the perfect place for a new beginning.
Claire Shipman never imagined she'd be the single mom of a teenager, going through a contentious divorce, and unexpectedly pregnant. On the bright side, at least she’s on Nantucket, where she grew up, and where her mother and grandmother welcome her home with open arms.
For years, Claire lived an enviable Manhattan lifestyle. Until her ex had a marriage-ending affair and also lost his job and all their money. Claire’s high school friends invite her to their book club and an off-hand joke that she could sell one of her Hermes bags sparks a business idea.
Her friend’s brother, Cody, is a furniture builder with a spare storefront. He’s initially skeptical about the prospects of a "used handbag shop".
But Claire is determined. With the support of Lily, her mother, grandmother, old friends and new, she begins to build a true second chance at a new life.
More praise for Pamela Kelley:
“Full of heart and hope…a feel-good reminder that it’s never too late to begin again.” — Cindy Nichols, USA Today bestselling author, for Nantucket Second Chances
"A great beach read. Grab your beach chair, umbrella and a cooler full of snacks and enjoy!" —Susan Wilson, New York Times bestselling author, for The Bookshop by the Bay
"A delightful story about family, friends, and finding our own happiness." —Jenny Hale, USA Today bestselling author, for The Bookshop by the Bay
