A Vineyard Rebirth

In 1943, a powerful hurricane ripped across Martha's Vineyard and destroyed the Historic Cliffside Hotel. Now, a broken, long-time realtor who has lived on the island her entire life sells the old acreage and building to a passionate developer -- and finds healing, love, and light along the way.

Kelli Montgomery spent the previous twenty years in a loveless and abusive marriage. Last Christmas, after her brother, Andy, arrived home after decades away, she finally found the strength to leave her husband -- but as anyone who's ever been through such trauma knows, what happens next -- the healing process, the rebirth which is the hardest, and most grueling part of healing.

Years ago, Kelli and her ex took over her parents' prosperous real estate business. Now that Mike has officially left the island, the work has fallen on Kelli's shoulders. Naturally, she is struggling -- even as the rest of the Montgomery and Sheridan families do their best to hold her upright and give her all the love and care in the world.

A seasoned developer and his son have arrived on the island and have their eye on the Historic Cliffside Hotel, with dreams to build it back up into one of the most prosperous and beautiful resorts the island has seen since the '40s. Lucky for them -- Kelli and her parents still have the blueprints for the old hotel -- which means its previous beauty and allure can be restored.

As Kelli falls deeper into the project, she finds herself lost in a daydream of hopes -- and ultimately healing the cracks in her soul.

Of course, the Montgomery and Sheridan clan -- Steven, Andy, Claire, and Charlotte, and her cousins, Susan, Christine, and Lola Sheridan, along with Uncle Wes, and her father and mother, Trevor and Kerry -- have wild summertime stories and funny tales of their own. It's another summer on Martha's Vineyard and maybe Kelli's favorite in a long, long time.

Dive into this new women's fiction series by heading to Martha's Vineyard— a backdrop of white sand and crystal blue waters that follow the stories of the Montgomery - Sheridan clan. A heartwarming journey of friendship, loss, and love that will have you wanting the next book.
