When a shocking family secret is
revealed, twenty-something journalist Cat Coombs finds herself falling into a
dark spiral. Wild, glamorous nights out in London and raging hangovers the next
day become her norm, leading to a terrible mistake one night while visiting
family in America, on the island of Nantucket. It's a mistake for which she
can't forgive herself. When she returns home, she confronts the unavoidable
reality of her life and knows it's time to grow up. But she doesn't know if
she'll ever be able to earn the forgiveness of the people she hurt.
As the
years pass, Cat grows into her forties, a struggling single mother, coping with
a new-found sobriety and determined to finally make amends. Traveling back to
her past, to the family she left behind on Nantucket all those years ago, she
may be able to earn their forgiveness, but in doing so she may risk losing the
very people she loves the most.
A
story that could only be told by the likes of Jane Green. This book portrays how one’s actions can
change the course of their life. It’s
both dramatic and a perfect reflection of relationships, betrayals, forgiveness
and coming to accept what we can’t change, but finding the strength within
ourselves to change the things we can.
And, through it all, having the courage in yourself to ride out he waves
that life throws at you.
Another
amazing book by the talented Jane Green that’s sure to be on just about
everyone’s To Be Read list!

About the Author:
She is published in over 25 languages, and has over ten million books in
print worldwide.
A
graduate of the French Culinary Institute in New York, Green filled two of her
books, Saving Grace and Promises to Keep,
with recipes culled from her own collection. She says she only cooks food that
is “incredibly easy, but has to look as if you have slaved over a hot stove for
hours.” This is because she has five children, and has realized that “when you
have five children, nobody ever invites you anywhere.”
She lives in Westport, Connecticut with her husband and their blended
family. When she is not writing, cooking, gardening, filling her house with
friends and herding chickens, she is usually thanking the Lord for
caffeine-filled energy drinks. A malignant melanoma survivor who also lives
with Chronic Lyme Disease, she believes gratitude and focusing on the good in
life is the secret to happiness.
