She thought she was just prepping for a hurricane-turns out, the real storm was waiting inside her own front door.
Julia Montgomery's got storm shutters to hang, a leaky sink to fix, and grown-up children who think she should stay safely out of the way. But when a hurricane takes a sharper turn than expected, Pearl Beach is left reeling-and Julia's not the only one caught in the chaos.
Her son Dillon finds himself rescuing a stranded pelican, an injured dog, and maybe his own heart, thanks to a determined intern from the local turtle hospital. Her daughter Kelsey, a meteorologist, is forced to face the fallout of a blown forecast and a career turned upside down. And Julia? She's holding the family together, one soggy beach towel at a time-while discovering that her late husband's secrets run deeper than she thought.
As the winds die down and the power comes back on, the Montgomery family must weather a different kind of storm-the kind that tests loyalty, love, and what really makes a place feel like home.
Come back to the Florida Keys-where the surf is rough, the family ties are strong, and second chances roll in with the tide.
