Nantucket Second Chances—a story about friends, family, fashion and new beginnings.
Claire Shipman never imagined she'd be the single mom of a teenager, going through a contentious divorce, and unexpectedly pregnant. On the bright side, at least she's on Nantucket, where she grew up, and where her mother and grandmother welcome her home with open arms.
For years, Claire lived an enviable Manhattan lifestyle. Until her ex had a marriage-ending affair and then reveals he lost his job and all their money.
Claire's high school friends invite her to their book club and an off-hand joke that she could sell one of her Hermes bags sparks a business idea.
Her friend's brother, Cody, is a furniture builder with a spare storefront. He's initially skeptical about the prospects of a 'used handbag shop'.
But Claire is determined. With the support of Lily, her mother, grandmother, old friends and new, she begins to build a true second chance at a new life.
A story with warmth, family, and people you'd want as friends, from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Kelley.
