About this listen

An unexpected inheritance, a promise broken, and four lives changed forever: the newest pause-resister from USA Today best-selling author Jamie Brenner.

"Welcome to the gold standard of summertime escapism." (Elin Hilderbrand)

Summer has started in idyllic Sag Harbor, and for Emma Mapson that means greeting guests at the front desk of The American Hotel. But when one of the town's most famous residents, artist Henry Wyatt, dies suddenly, Emma learns he has mysteriously left his waterfront home - a self-designed masterpiece filled with his work - to her teenage daughter, Penny.

Back in Manhattan, legendary art patron Bea Winstead's grief at her lifelong friend and former business partner Henry's passing turns to outrage at the news of his shocking bequest. How did these unknown locals get their hands on the estate? Bea, with her devoted assistant Kyle in tow, descends on Sag Harbor determined to reclaim the house and preserve Henry's legacy.

While Emma fights to defend her daughter's inheritance, Bea discovers that Henry left a treasure trove of sketches scattered around town. With Penny's reluctant help, Bea pieces them together to find a story hidden in plain sight: an illustration of their shared history with an unexpected twist that will change all of their lives.

Drawn together in their battle for the house, Emma and Bea are forced to confront the past while facing a future that challenges everything they believe about love, fate, and family.

"The pages practically turn themselves." (People)

"Readers hoping to make more fictional friends will find plenty of options in these pages. Complex characters and probable connections turn a pleasant story into something special." (Library Journal)

"Smart, full of curveballs, and perfect for the beach." (Kirkus)

I enjoyed the voices and could tell the different characters. The mother is humble and very positive. The book is good but predictable.

The characters are so well-developed-you can’t help loving Emma and Penny and Kyle and even Bea. It has romance but the story was much more than that. It drew me in from the very beginning and was a great summer read, though it would be enjoyable any time of year.

Drawing Home-I couldn’t quit listening to it!

I liked this book, I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because there are times it drags and drones on too long regarding an issue. I liked the characters, the story and the reader. There were just some “move it along” edits that should have been done.

Good Read

The first 1/2 or more of this audiobook, “Drawing Home” was a bit slow for my usually impatient pace, but finishing the book was worth every detail that the author, Jamie Brenner put into the story. The book is a beautifully constructed masterpiece, and like art, you have to experience the finished work before you can experience the deeper understanding of the total picture. When complete, you’ll know you have witnessed something that has touched your very soul.

Development of a really good story takes time

One of the best books I’ve listened to in a long time. At one point the stress of the story almost made me put it down. But what a fabulous read!
