The youngest Sheridan sister discovers a powerful love, one that changes her mind forever. A widow seeks refuge in community theater after the death of her husband. And a blizzard blankets Martha’s Vineyard with more snow than any of them know.
For the past twenty years, Lola Sheridan has worked tirelessly as a single mother to Audrey and a renowned journalist across the eastern seaboard. Now, she finds herself in a particularly strange and beautiful scenario. She’s fallen in love with the handsome Italian sailor, Tommy Gasbarro, and made a home with him on the Vineyard.
But life circumstances are ever-shifting. And when Tommy pops a question Lola never imagined anyone would ask her, she is shocked.
For over twenty-five years, multitalented married couple Victor and Cora celebrated all things theater with the Martha’s Vineyard community troupe. Together, they starred in productions like The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, and West Side Story, amongst so many others. Days after last year’s performance, Victor passed away suddenly and left Cora terribly alone, unsure if she could ever step back onstage again.
At the end of February, the most tremendous Vineyard blizzard in years threatens to rip through both Cora and Lola’s best-laid plans—but winds up leaving them with numerous surprises and beautiful human connections that could change their lives forever.
