Set against the beautiful backdrop of coastal Maine,
bestselling author Holly Chamberlin’s heartwarming novel
tells of friendship, family, lessons learned, and
newfound love—all under a summer sky . . .
Every June, the quiet beach town of Ogunquit is overtaken
by wealthy families who hire local young women like Amy
Latimer and Hayley Franklin to care for their children.
Best friends since childhood, Amy and Hayley are eager to
secure lucrative summer jobs. Amy wants to finance her
upcoming move to Boston. Hayley hopes to squirrel away
enough money so that her mom can finally leave her
abusive husband.
Amy is immediately in thrall to her dynamic boss,
Cressida Prior, so different from Amy’s mother, Leda.
Though skilled at creating tapestries and rugs, Leda
lacks confidence. But one thing she does know, after a
painful summer long ago as a nanny herself, is how
damaging a manipulative boss can be.
Hayley’s employers, Jon and Marisa Whitby, are loving
parents to their two-year-old twins. Jon also has a grown
son by a previous marriage. Ethan is kind, handsome, and
not least, wealthy. For the first time, Hayley, usually
so selfless, can’t help seeing him as an opportunity.
But the passing weeks bring complications and
revelations, altering friendships, testing the bond
between mothers and daughters, and proving that the
ripples from a single season can last forever . . .
