Synopsis

Adele gave up college and then eight years of her life to care for her ailing parents. Now they are gone, the family house in Half Moon Bay is the only thing she has left, and she has no idea what a life of her own would even look like. Her older sister Justine paid the bills instead: a successful attorney with the career, the marriage and the children Adele never got near.

When Justine raises the idea of selling the house, and when Adele sees Justine's husband with another woman, both women are forced to stop and look at what they have actually built. Neither of them knows how to start over.

Sunrise on Half Moon Bay is a standalone women's fiction novel from Robyn Carr about sisterhood, caregiving, and the unglamorous work of changing course in middle age. Warm rather than sentimental, and rooted in the northern California coast.
