Dabney Kimball Beech has had a lifelong gift for matchmaking (fifty-two couples still together to her credit). But when Dabney discovers she is dying of pancreatic cancer, she sets out to find matches for a few people very close to home: her husband, John Boxmiller Beech, celebrated economist and Harvard professor; her lover, Clendenin Hughes, Pulitzer-winning journalist who lost his arm in Southeast Asia; and her daughter, Agnes, who is engaged to be married to the wrong man.
As time slips away from Dabney, she is determined to find matches for those she loves most - but at what cost to her own relationships?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Call off the search—we’ve found the perfect summer read. Bestselling American novelist Elin Hilderbrand’s bittersweet tale of love and second chances is set on the island of Nantucket with its dune-backed beaches and cobbled streets. We adored heroine Dabney Kimball Beech, a kind woman with an extraordinary talent for matchmaking whose comfortable life turns upside down when her teenage sweetheart returns after a 27-year absence.
