Publisher Description
Lisa Hodges needs to make a decision fast. Thanks to her dead husband’s gambling addiction, their savings is almost gone. In her early fifties with a large, waterfront home on Nantucket to support, Lisa hasn’t worked in over thirty years, has no in-demand skills and is virtually unemployable.
.
Her only options are to sell the house and move off-island, or, she could use her cooking and entertaining skills and turn her home into a bed and breakfast. She desperately needs it to succeed because she has four grown children with problems of their own and wants to stay close to them.
her oldest daughter, Kate, has a fabulous career in Boston--working as a writer for a popular fashion magazine and engaged to a dangerously handsome, photographer, who none of them have met.
.
Kate's twin, local artist, Kristen, has been reasonably content with her on-again off-again relationship with an older, separated businessman.
.
Her son, Chase, runs his own construction business and is carefree, happily dating here and there but nothing serious.
.
Youngest daughter, Anna, is happily married to her high school sweetheart, and they've been trying to have a baby. But it hasn't happened yet, and Anna wonders if it's a sign that maybe their marriage isn't as perfect as everyone thinks.
.
Come visit Nantucket and see how Lisa's new bed and breakfast has an impact on almost everyone in her family. It's the first book in a new series that will follow the Hodges family, friends, and visitors to Nantucket's Beach Plum Cove Inn.
Customer Reviews
A nice read if you can overlook the typos
It took me a while to get into the story because the characters names and pronouns were mixed up so,often. And many, many sentences ended in question marks, which made it seem as if the author were unsure of what she was writing. But all of those errors disappeared in the second half of the book as it hit its stride. Then I could relax and enjoy the story.
Needs some editing
This book has typos, including names of various characters switching, which made it feel like a draft rather than a finished product. In one place, there was a placeholder for a name marked as “X.” Also, the plot was mostly the characters eating, either at the house or a restaurant, without much other activity going on. I felt like much of this book was describing the food they were eating rather than getting back to the slow moving, predictable plot.
Great read!
I love when things turn out well after sad beginnings. The was a great escape book for me!
