Nina is at her wit's end with her teenage daughter, Kendra. Still
dealing with her own wounds of divorce, Nina hopes a change of scenery
will help. She and Kendra head to the serene coastal town of Whelk's
Island to spend a restorative summer with Nina’s mother,
Rosemary—bringing three generations under one roof for the first time in
years. Amid the island's charm, old wounds begin to heal, and as new
friendships bloom—especially with the steady and enigmatic Fisher—light
begins to break through the cracks of Nina’s tightly controlled life.
Kendra's
reckless behavior continues but Fisher’s intervention during a critical
moment for Kendra sparks a sense of hope in Nina that she thought was
lost. Still, change is never easy.
As the women navigate the
tides of forgiveness, growing up, and letting go, healing begins and new
love brings surprises. While Whelk’s Island may not hold all the
answers, it has a way of reminding people that moving forward doesn't
follow a set path—it requires the bravery to start anew.

My Review
Such a warmhearted read, family, and all the members here, even those not related by blood.
This is the story of a young teen, whose parents have divorced, and she is trying to find her way, and where she belongs.
This is a return to Whelk's Island, and some recurring characters, that I cared about from previous books, including The Wife! I loved being back with these caring individuals, and the author made me feel like one of the family.
When the last page was turned I wanted more! A read with a hug!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Penguin Random House Christian Publishing, and was not required to give a positive review.
