As Eleanor continues to settle into life in Magnolia Shore and works to turn the lower level of her house into a bookstore, the women of her book club face turning points of their own. For Cadence Meadows, everything has changed since she and her husband, Tyler, decided to separate for a while. Both are determined to make sure their daughter Isabelle feels safe and loved despite the upheaval. But in the quiet moments, Cadence finds herself grappling with the ache in her heart as she tries to decide what she truly wants for her future. Tyler has always been the love of her life. But after Isabelle was born, a painful struggle to conceive again slowly created distance between them, and that rift has only deepened with time. Can they confront the hurt of the past and find their way back to one another, or is it time to let go? Meanwhile, Eleanor runs into an unexpected roadblock with her plans to open the bookshop when permit issues arise and she clashes with Winnie Burnett, who is skeptical of the whole project. And when June learns about an open mic night hosted by Anchor Bistro, she's both thrilled and terrified at the thought of singing in front of a crowd. With encouragement from Eleanor and the others, will she find the courage to step into the spotlight? For the ladies of the Coastal Book Club, one thing always remains true: life's biggest challenges and smallest everyday moments are easier to face when you have good friends by your side. --Back cover.
