Having trumpeted her independence when she went to California, Linnea
is returning to Sullivan’s Island in a chastened frame of mind
having lost both job and boyfriend. Of course, the first place she
stops when she returns is Primrose Cottage where her Aunt Cara lives.
Cara also returned to the island sixteen years ago having lost a job.
It’s another bond between aunt and niece.
Cara’s life is
changing again as she plans for her wedding to the wealthy David
Wyatt. Although she’s pleased to be marrying David, their ideas of
what the wedding should be like aren’t in sync. Linnea’s parents
are doing well after Palmer’s bankruptcy. He is building a house
and loving it. Julia is also finding ways to express herself.
With all the changes
there is a serious health problem that must be dealt with and, of
course, there are the turtles.
This book is part of
the Rutledge family saga, but it can be read as a stand alone, as can
the other books in the series. However, getting to know the family
makes you want to keep on finding out more about their lives and the
beautiful setting on Sullivan’s Island.
The plot focuses on
hope and how well second chances can turn out. It’s not a quick
read. It’s a book to savor as you get to know the characters or
become reacquainted with the family. If you want a beach read, this
is a good choice.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
