Driftwood Summer

Three sisters come back to the beach community where they grew up, because the family bookstore is in danger of closing. Riley is the responsible one and a single mother. Maisy is a designer who lives in California. Adalee is the youngest, and she would rather spend the summer on her own plans.

The same summer brings Mack Logan home. Years ago he chose Maisy over Riley, and that choice ended the closeness the sisters once had. Maisy still holds Riley responsible for costing her the love of her life.

Riley is also carrying a secret about their mother, one she has told no one and one that hits hard. Adalee resents being pulled into the family's trouble at all. With the shop at stake and old grievances back in the same rooms, the three have to face what broke them apart.

This is a family novel about sisters, set over a single summer in a seaside town. The focus stays on the relationships between the women, with a romantic history running underneath. Loyalty and resentment pull against each other from the first chapters on.
