Description
"A page-turner with a deep heart."—Nancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling author of Girls of Summer
How do you start a new chapter of your life when you haven't closed the book on the previous one?
Eighteen months ago, Autumn Divac's husband went missing. Her desperate search has yielded no answers, and she can't imagine moving forward without him. But for the sake of their two teenage children, she has to try.
Autumn takes her kids home for the summer to the charming beachside town where she was raised. She seeks comfort working alongside her mother and aunt at their bookshop, only to learn that her daughter is facing a huge life change and her mother has been hiding a terrible secret for years. And when she runs into the boy who stole her heart in high school, old feelings start to bubble up again. Is she free to love him, or should she hold out hope for her husband's return? She can only trust her heart...and hope it won't lead her astray.
"A heart-tugging romance. Readers are sure to be sucked in."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

          Novak's latest (after One Perfect Summer, 2020) opens in the middle of a mystery. Autumn Divac has spent the last eighteen months searching for her missing husband. With her two teenagers, Taylor and Caden, in tow, Autumn returns to her hometown on the beach, where her mother, Mary, and her aunt own a small bookstore. Once there, Autumn learns that her high school love is back in town--and divorced. When she sees him again, sparks fly, but she is riddled with guilt. All the while Taylor and Caden are dealing with Taylor's accidental pregnancy with a boy back home. All of these storylines are intertwined, but none hold a candle to the real mystery of what Mary is hiding. With the emergence of at-home DNA tests, Mary's secret about Autumn's father is threatening to surface, and Mary grapples with the idea of telling Autumn the dark truth. Novak's novel is filled with mystery and drama, coupled with themes of family ties and secrets. This page-turner will not disappoint readers who enjoy Hope Ramsay and Anita Hughes.
