When a shocking family secret is revealed, twentysomething
journalist Cat Coombs finds herself falling into a dark
spiral. Wild, glamorous nights out in London and raging
hangovers the next day become her norm, leading to a
terrible mistake one night while visiting family in America,
on the island of Nantucket. It’s a mistake for which she
can’t forgive herself. When she returns home, she confronts
the unavoidable reality of her life and knows it’s time to
grow up. But she doesn’t know if she’ll ever be able to earn
the forgiveness of the people she hurt.
As the years pass, Cat grows into her forties, a struggling
single mother, coping with a newfound sobriety, and
determined to finally make amends. Traveling back to her
past, to the family she left behind on Nantucket all those
years ago, she may be able to earn their forgiveness, but in
doing so she may risk losing the very people she loves the
most.
Told with Jane Green’s keen eye for detailing the emotional
landscape of the heart, Summer Secrets is at once a
compelling drama and a beautifully rendered portrait of
relationships, betrayals, and forgiveness, about accepting
the things we cannot change, finding the courage to change
the things we can, and being strong enough to weather to storms.
