In the tradition of Kristin Hannah and Luanne Rice, Susan Wilson creates a poignant, absorbing novel of first love lost and found again, of family and friendship, and of secrets and ghosts laid to rest.

After nearly twenty years, Kiley Harris has returned to the
small New England town of Hawke's Cove. As a child, Kiley
eagerly anticipated every summer spent at the old family
beach house, where she'd be reunited with her two best
friends, Grainger Egan and Mack MacKenzie. For years, they
were an unshakable trio: sailing and swimming every day,
playing cards on the porch at night, and sharing their
dreams. But everything changed the summer after their high
school graduations, when the boys' friendship turned to
rivalry over Kiley -- with tragic results.
For nearly
two decades, Kiley has been in self-imposed exile from the
place she loved so much. But now her parents have asked her
to ready the old beach house for sale, to finance her son
Will's college education. Losing the family house will mean
losing Hawke's Cove forever -- so Kiley brings Will along to
give him this connection to the past he's long wished for.
Yet she also fears that in Hawke's Cove, Will inevitably
will meet Grainger -- who might, unknowingly, be Will's
father. And Kiley doesn't know if this is disastrous
timing...or the gift of a second chance.
Rich in the
complexities of love, insightful in the mysteries of the
heart, and generous in the forgiveness of human frailties,
Summer Harbor is a moving exploration of the pains of the
past, uncertainties of the present, and hopes for the future.
