Fiction
Anthony Puckett was a rising literary star. The son of an
uber-famous thriller writer, Anthony’s debut novel spent
two years on the bestseller list and won the adoration of
critics. But something went very wrong with his second
work. Now Anthony’s borrowing an old college’s friend’s
crumbling beach house on Block Island in the hopes that
solitude will help him get back to the person he used to
be. Joy Sousa owns and runs Block Island’s beloved whoopie
pie café. She came to this quiet space eleven years ago,
newly divorced and with a young daughter, and built a
life for them here. To her customers and friends, Joy is
a model of independence, hard-working and happy. And
mostly she is. But this summer she’s thrown off balance.
A food truck from a famous New York City brand is roving
around the island, selling goodies—and threatening her
business. Lu Trusdale is spending the summer on her in-laws’ dime,
living on Block Island with her two young sons while her
surgeon husband commutes to the mainland hospital. When
Lu’s second son was born, she and her husband made a
deal: he’d work and she’d quit her corporate law job to
stay home with the boys. But a few years ago, Lu quietly
began working on a private project that has becoming
increasingly demanding on her time. Torn between her work
and home, she’s beginning to question that deal she made. Over the twelve short weeks of summer, these three
strangers will meet and grow close, will share secrets
and bury lies. And as the promise of June turns into the
chilly nights of August, the truth will come out, forcing
each of them to decide what they value most, and what
they are willing to give up to keep it.
