Description
New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe returns to her beloved Isle of Palms to tell the poignant, charming story of two women, one summer, and one very special beach house.
When Cara Rutledge rents out her quaint beach house on Isle of Palms to Heather Wyatt for the entire summer, it's a win-win by any standard: Cara's generating income necessary to keep husband Brett's ecotourism boat business afloat, and anxiety-prone Heather, an young artist who's been given a commission to paint birds on postage stamps, has a quiet space in which to work and tend to her pet canaries uninterrupted.
It isn't long, however, before both women's idyllic summers are altered irrevocably: the alluring shorebirds—and the man who rescues them—begin to draw Heather out of the shell she's cultivated toward a world of adventure, and maybe even love; at the same time, Cara's life reels with sudden tragedy, and she wishes only to return to the beach house that had once been her port amidst life's storms. When Heather refuses to budge from her newfound sanctuary, so begins the unlikeliest of rooming situations. While they start out as strangers, as everything around the women falls apart they learn that the only thing they can really rely on is each other.
And, like the migrating shorebirds that come to the island for the summer, these two women of different generations must rediscover their unique strengths so by summer's end they, too, can take flight in ways they never imagined possible.

Starred review from May 15, 2017
Despite pressure from her brother, Palmer, Cara Rutledge refuses to sell Primrose, the 85-year-old cottage on Isle of Palms, SC. Palmer does come up with a tenant for the entire summer. Heather Wyatt is an accomplished illustrator with a commission to paint shorebirds for postage stamps. She arrives at the house with her three canaries and a well-hidden problem: she suffers from extreme social anxiety that often leads to panic attacks. While building a deck at Primrose, Bo Stanton senses Heather's shyness and is able to draw her out. They're making progress when Cara is dealt a tragic blow, losing the love of her life. She wants to return to the beach house to heal, but Heather is unwilling to give it up. Instead, she offers Cara a solution that could help them both--why not share the beach house for the rest of the summer? Monroe (The Beach House) continues her series featuring women who return to Primrose for comfort, healing, and strength. However, the books can stand alone. VERDICT Readers interested in environmental fiction highlighting endangered birds, turtles, and lands will delight in this latest novel featuring women who need the healing power of nature. Recommended for fans of Dorothea Benton Frank and beach fiction.--Lesa Holstine, Evansville Vanderburgh P.L., IN

Cara Rutledge's beach house in the low country of South Carolina has always been a peaceful refuge. The old house is a labor of love, fixed up to be in prime shape for the summer rental season. This year's inhabitant is Heather Wyatt, a shy artist hoping to regain a sense of independence while she paints the coastal shorebirds. Calm, confident Cara and skittish Heather couldn't be more different, until a sudden tragedy shakes Cara to her core. Heather offers to let Cara move back into the beach house for the rest of the summer, and the new roommates lean on each other while accessing strengths they never knew they had. Monroe's newest installation in her Beach House series also serves as a stand-alone novel, but faithful readers will recognize her ability to blend uniquely human stories with pressing environmental issues. Fans of Mary Kay Andrews and Mary Simses will adore this novel of simple pleasures, shifting priorities, and the power of self-discovery. Tender and inspiring with a touch of romance, it's just the thing to fill an empty beach bag.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
