Publisher's summary

Lydia Walker and Angela Collins both need a fresh start.

A year ago, Lydia became a widow at 38 when she lost her beloved husband to cancer, and despite the support of her friends and her teenage daughter Holly, she’s had a hard time moving on from the loss. She feels stuck, uncertain of how to carry out her husband’s final wish that she do something that scares her.

Angela Collins has what seems like the perfect life - a beautiful little boy, a loving husband, and a good career. But that all comes crumbling down when she returns home early one afternoon and discovers that her husband is having an affair.

Struggling with grief and loss, both women head to Marigold Island, an idyllic small town with white sand beaches and happy childhood memories. A chance meeting between the two old friends sparks an idea that’s as exciting as it is terrifying. They decide to buy the historic Beachside Inn, renovate it, and reopen it.

Along the way, they’ll encounter a cranky landscaper who may have a soft side hidden beneath his gruff exterior, plumbing mishaps, old acquaintances, and unexpected competition from a big hotel.

Will Lydia and Angela get the second chance they’re hoping for? Or, will their dreams of reopening the Beachside Inn be dashed before they even get off the ground?

Come dip your toes in the crystal blue waters of Marigold Island, a fictional island town tucked in next to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. This heartwarming and uplifting women’s fiction will take you on a journey of healing, friendship, family, faith, and love.

If you enjoy books by Pamela Kelley, Kay Correll, Debbie Macomber, and Jan Moran, the Marigold Island series is for you!

Bringing BA co memories

This book brought back many memories from my childhood. Although I have never been to this island, I did spend my childhood summers on an island off the coast of Maine. From the was the smalls were discussing. to the way the sun sets and how it wade one feel. It was a very very delightful read. I can't wait to read the next one.

Sorry but very boring

This story was very boring. It was predictable and contrived. 2 old friends,one divorced and one a widow meet men in exact same circumstance. annoying descriptions of food. Best thing I can say is the narrator was very good.
