Publisher Description
BONUS: This edition contains a Summer House discussion guide and an excerpt from Nancy Thayer's Island Girls.
Thirty-year-old Charlotte Wheelwright seems to have at last found her niche, running an organic gardening business on the island of Nantucket, thanks in large part to her spry grandmother Nona, who donated a portion of land on the family’s seaside compound to get Charlotte started. Though Charlotte’s skill with plants is bringing her success, cultivating something deeper with people—particularly her handsome neighbor Coop—might be more of a challenge.
Now the entire Wheelwright clan is making its annual summer pilgrimage to the homestead, including Charlotte’s mother, Helen, who brings a heavy heart as she confronts a betrayal that threatens her sense of place and her sense of self. Bringing together three generations of strong-willed women, each wrestling with life-changing decisions, Nancy Thayer’s luminous novel shows that no matter where life’s path may lead, love always finds a way back home.

Fun read
This was a fun read. It was a little slow at first, but then I was unable to put it down.
So boring so far
Can anyone tell me if this book gets more interesting?? I'm struggling. Super slow moving, unrealistic characters, etc. Seems to be about a wealthy family and their wealthy ways and their wealthy names, etc etc. Jumps in and out of the past and present to delve into super boring material. I'm surprised this book is so highly rated. A family fued over a 4,000 garden profit? In Nantucket?? That's the price of a long lunch.
