Synopsis

In this poignant, evocative novel, bestselling author Holly Chamberlin sweeps you into the picturesque town of Ogunquit, Maine, where a family in flux explores their ties to a beautiful beach house, and to each other.

Some houses have a personality of their own. Larchmere is that kind of place--a splendid, sprawling home with breathtaking views that open to briny Atlantic air and seabirds' calls. It's the place where Tilda McQueen O'Connell grew up and now vacations each year, and where she and her three siblings--Adam, Hannah, and Craig--have gathered to commemorate the tenth anniversary of their mother's passing.

But instead of the bittersweet but relaxing reunion Tilda expected, she finds chaos. Her father's plan to marry a younger woman has thrown the fate of the beach house into uncertainty. For Tilda, the stakes seem the highest. Alone and vulnerable two years after her husband's death, she sees Larchmere as not just a cherished part of her history, but her eventual refuge from the world. Faced with losing that legacy, Tilda must embrace an unknown future. And all the McQueens must reconcile their shared, sometimes painful past--and learn how to love one another even when it means forging a life apart. . .

About the Author

From Booklist

The McQueen clan is reuniting in Ogunquit, Maine, at their gorgeous and rambling summer home. It's not quite a vacation, though—they're coming together for a memorial service for their matriarch, Charlotte McQueen, and her influence is still felt as each family member has brought more baggage than just their suitcases. Being a newlywed in a gay marriage isn't what worries Hannah about having children; it's her fear of turning out like Charlotte, her mother. Drifting brother Craig is unsure of his place in the family hierarchy. Bitter, angry Adam is working through a divorce and his engagement to his trophy girlfriend; and gloomy, thoughtful Tilda is too wrapped up in mourning her husband to notice much else. When their father invites his new girlfriend to the memorial service, new questions arise in the growing interest over exactly who inherits the beach house; and it isn't long before tensions boil over. Chamberlin's eighth novel is a dramatic and moving portrait of several generations of a family and each person's place within it. --Hilary Hatton
