Synopsis
Pragmatic,
independent Lily St. Claire has never been a beachgoer. But when her late
father leaves her a small house on Hideaway Key—one neither her mother nor she
knew he owned—she’s determined to visit the sleepy spit of land along Florida’s
Gulf Coast. Expecting a quaint cottage, Lily instead finds a bungalow with
peeling shutters and mountains of memorabilia. She also catches a glimpse of
the architect who lives down the beach….
But
it’s the carton of old journals in the front room that she finds most
intriguing. The journals were written by her mother’s sister, an infamous
beauty whose name has long been banned from the St. Claire home. The journals
tell a family tale Lily has never heard, of her mother and her aunt as young
girls in Tennessee and the secrets that followed them into adulthood. As she
reads, Lily gains a new understanding: about her family and about herself. And
she begins to open her heart—to this place, these people, and the man next
door. But can she ever truly learn to trust, to believe that love is not a trap
but a harbor? And is it true that hearts, even broken ones, can be forged anew?
Why I Can’t Wait
This
sounds like a perfect read to end the summer. I love a book with a little
mystery and this one sounds like it perfectly fits the bill.
