Set on breathtaking Coates Island, off the coast of North Carolina, bestselling author Rochelle AlersтАЩ
new series debut brings together three book-loving women whose summer will offer a chance to rewrite
their own stories ...
For three decades, the Seaside Caf├й has served delicious meals to locals and island tourists alike. Kayana
Johnson has moved home to help her brother run the caf├йтАФand to nurse her wounds following a deep betrayal.
Between cooking favorite recipesтАФcreole chicken with buttermilk waffles, her grandmotherтАЩs famous mac and
cheeseтАФand spending time reading, Kayana is trying to embrace a life free of entanglements, while staying open
to new connections ...
After striking up conversation with two customers, Kayana suggests a summer book club. Each week, theyтАЩll
meet on the patio to talk about their favorite novels. But there are plot twists awaiting them in real life too. For
schoolteacher Leah, this two-month sojourn is the first taste of freedom sheтАЩs had in her unhappy marriage.
Cherie, filled with regret about her long-term affair with a married politician, discovers a powerful new passion.
And Kayana finds a kindred spirit in a reclusive visitor whoтАЩs ready to make his true identity known, and fill this
summer with new possibilities ...
