When Liam Tate was seven years old, his uncle Cooper opened
his heart and his Nantucket home to him. In the intervening decades, Liam has
found both love and loss on the island, and since learning of his son Levi’s
existence, a new kind of happiness. Yet one piece of his family history remains
elusive—the long-ago romance between his uncle and Sally Adams. Now Sally has a
revelation that sets the whole town abuzz: She’s publishing a book about what
happened during the summer when she and Cooper first met, painting a picture so
vivid it feels like yesterday . . .
In 1969, Winston Ellis Cooper III lands on Nantucket with only a duffel bag and a bottle of Jack Daniels. He finds a sparsely furnished beach cottage, about as far from Vietnam as he can get. But even here, Cooper can’t withdraw from the world entirely. Especially once his eyes meet Sally’s in the flickering lights of a summer dance. The effects of that fiery affair can still be felt decades later. And as the story unfolds, there are new lessons for all to learn about life’s triumphs and heartaches, and about loving enough to let go.
