Bestselling author Holly Chamberlin welcomes readers to the sunny beaches and unspoiled beauty of Maine, in this poignant, thoughtful novel of a mother and daughter in the midst of profound change .

When Louise Bessire was living in Boston, she dreamed of another way of life, far from the phony smiles and small-talk of corporate dinners.

Now she's got what she wanted--though not exactly in the way she hoped.

Blindsided by her husband's affair, Louise has used her divorce settlement to buy Blueberry Bay, a picturesque bed and breakfast in Ogunquit.

And with a celebrity wedding taking place on the premises this summer, business is looking up.

While Louise deals with paparazzi and wedding planners, her sixteen-year-old daughter, Isobel, is falling hard for local boy Jeff Otten.

Being singled out by Jeff--nineteen, handsome, and from a wealthy family--almost makes up for her father's increasing neglect.

Yet even in the glow of golden beach days there are sudden, heart-wrenching revelations for both Louise and Isobel.

It will be a summer that tests their strength and courage and proves that through every changing season, nothing is as steadfast as a mother's love .
