Nantucket was her paradise—until reality came barging in.

Mae Benson was happy—a beloved wife, beloved mother, beloved neighbor. But even she wasn’t ready for the tragedy looming around the corner. The accident that claims her husband’s life rocks the whole family. And it’s not the only thing stirring up trouble.

Mae’s oldest, Eliza, is facing an unexpected pregnancy with a fiancé she no longer wants to be with. Her daughter Holly is caught in a marriage on the rocks. Headstrong daughter Sara is reeling in the throes of a forbidden work-place romance. And her youngest son, Brent, is drowning in sorrow and guilt after his father’s passing.

Take a trip to Nantucket’s Sweet Island Inn and follow along as Mae Benson and her children face the hardest summer of their lives. Love, loss, heartbreak, hope—it’s all here and more. Can Mae find a way to bring herself and her family to the light at the end of the tunnel? Or will her grief be too much to overcome?

I don’t like the way the author takes each chapter for one of the people. It’s especially frustrating when something important happens and the reader has to go through 2 to 3 more chapters to find out what happened there. In fact by the end of this first book in the series there were several things that really needed to be addressed and were not. I’m getting the second book to tie up some of the ends. When I get to a stopping point, I will not get any more in a series because of the way the author is doing this.
The narrator is quite good. If she wasn’t I would not have got this book in the first place after listening to the sample.

Good but frustrating

Rather than drag … I felt it moved a bit to fast for everyone seemed in crisis at the same time 🤔 Crisis enough for the terrible loss for the family but maybe the individual ones should have followed a bit slower 🤷🏻‍♀️
I like the fact that were introduced to whole family enjoyed the many story lines and they way they connected… and Susan Boyce does a great job with so many people…
Reminds me of Maggie Miller series with many narrators and a continuing story line … this I really enjoyed…so looking forward to next in series ❣️

Overall enjoyed…

The story line was good… though I must say sometimes it’s dragged out with too much fluff. I don’t feel like everything gets addressed before the book ends. I don’t care for the narrator… she makes me not like Mae. She makes her sound old and frail and I know she isn’t. She couldn’t do all the things she does if she were that frail.

Good story line.

I don’t like unresolved endings for characters and I was dismayed at first not realizing this was the first in a series

Glad there are more books to come

I didn’t care for the reader’s voice for this book. She has a lovely voice and a very skilled voice actress but her accent and tone doesn’t go with the story for me.

I also don’t care for all the open endings for each sibling at the end of this book! I can only hope the storylines continue into Book 2, but I don’t know if I can listen to this story w this lovely voice actress - maybe I’ll find a hardcopy!

What?!
