Annie Tucker is bequeathed a home on Martha's Vineyard by her beloved aunt. The mother of three young children, Annie decides to summer on the island while her husband continues his frequent workrelated escapades abroad. While mourning her recently deceased aunt, Annie becomes engulfed by memories of her carefree past, made all the more complex after running into her first true love, Chase, a well-off island townie. By weaving the depth and complexity of Annie's inner dialogue—feelings of doubt, loneliness, and those pesky "what ifs"— with other well-developed characters and a luscious Martha's Vineyard landscape, Holly Hodder Eger has crafted a remarkable, multifaceted story about family, loss, and love.
