Faith, family, hope, and love-on Mackinac Island!
Facing a summer alone, Paula, a widowed librarian, heads to her family's cottage on Mackinac Island where she's surprised to see her nurse practioner daughter. The author of a book on grief, Paula reconnects with an intriguing reader, Gennaro, whom she'd once previously encountered. World-famous chef, Gennaro, works at an island resort, and has kept a low profile since his wife's tragic death. Gennaro, whose family owns massive farms in Tuscany, works with Paula on her cottage's vegetable garden, and a deep friendship grows. Both Paula and Gennaro have college-age sons working on the island, too. When personal and family secrets erupt, can these two help their extended families and find healing for themselves?
