Charlotte Elkins is excitedly preparing for her wedding to the local blacksmith, and although she sometimes has second thoughts, she feels it is too late to change her mind.

About this title

About the Author:

Rowena Summers is a pseudonym for author Jean Saunders who began her career as a magazine writer and has published over 600 short stories and some eighty novels.

From Booklist:

When Summers catches up with the Elkin family, last seen in Shelter from the Storm (2005), their remodeled seaside hotel is up and running. It's 1937. The coast along the Somerset town of Braydon attracts tourists, and the annual fair will bring in the locals as well. Charlotte, the oldest of the Elkin girls, is soon to marry the local blacksmith. She's wanted to be his wife for a long time, yet she's having second thoughts. Josie, the middle sister, is anxious to meet up with a wildly attractive young man who runs one of the rides at the fair. She was too young for him last year, so her goal this year is to show him how grown-up she is. A summer that starts out with great promise delivers the opposite as the Elkins' lives are turned upside down in the latest installment in Summers' continuing saga, which brings a slice of the past to luminous life.
