About this ebook
When a young widow's reclusive life in a charming beach town is interrupted by a surprise visitor, she is forced to reckon with dark secrets about her family, her late husband, and the past she tried to leave behind.
Lauren Adelman and her high school sweetheart, Rory Kincaid, are a golden couple. They marry just out of college as Rory, a star hockey player, earns a spot in the NHL. Their future could not look brighter when Rory shocks everyone-Lauren most of all-by enlisting in the U.S. Army. When Rory dies in combat, Lauren is left devastated, alone, and under unbearable public scrutiny.
Seeking peace and solitude, Lauren retreats to her family's old beach house on the Jersey Shore. But this summer she's forced to share the house with her overbearing mother and competitive sister. Worse, a stranger making a documentary about Rory tracks her down and persuades her to give him just an hour to talk about her husband.
One hour with filmmaker Matt Brio turns into a summer of revelations, surprises, and upheaval. As the days grow shorter and her grief changes shape, Lauren begins to understand the past-and to welcome the future.

The wish for the perfect summer's past on Cape Cod propels new author Shelby to accept a request for best friend Colleen to manage her bookstore while she rests during her pregnancy. Shelby is surprised when her other friend Hunter feels that Shelby’s unflattering portrayal of a young woman is Hunter. All the women are experiencing difficulties and compassion is what they truly need. It is a hurricane summer for them as they try to navigate hurts and possibly regain what they have lost. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
