Liam Tate has loved Acadia since the first time he saw her, even though they
were complete opposites. She's very well to do, while Liam was just a local
boy on Nantucket who restored boats for a living. Cadie was there for
summer vacation and they spent every moment that they could together.
Cadie's parents tried to get her to stay with her peers, but Cadie disobeyed
them every chance she could. After spending the whole day together on an
abandoned island, her father is furious and forces her family to leave
Nantucket Island the very next day. Liam doesn't see her again for twenty five
years.
NANTUCKET tells the story of how Liam and Cadie see each other again
after so many years have passed. Liam has never stopped loving Cadie
and he can't believe that she is standing before him after twenty five years.
He went to an art show because he noticed the artist had the same last
name as Cadie. Not only does he learn that the artist, Levi Knox, is Cadie's
son, he learns Levi is his son. The next six weeks bring so many changes
to all of their lives and some of them are so heartbreaking. This is the part
of NANTUCKET where you will need to go and get your box of tissues and
keep them right next to you. You are going to need them.
NANTUCKET is my first time reading Nan Rossiter. I was instantly hooked
on this beautiful story and finished it with a huge
lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. The love Liam and Cadie shared
was truly the greatest love of all. Even after twenty five years, their love
was just as strong as when they were teenagers. Once I started reading
this very emotional love story, I could not put it down. Be prepared to
ignore everything else until you are done. All I wanted to do when I
finished reading was to reach out and give Liam a big hug. As an added
bonus, Nan has even included a few recipes from the story at the end of
the book.
From New York Timesand USA Today bestselling
author Nan Rossiter comes a tender, moving story of
rekindled passion, set amidst the timeless beauty of
Nantucket.
Over twenty-five years ago, Liam Tate and Acadia McCormick
Knox fell in love. It was summer on Nantucket, and
seventeen-year-old Liam knew that wealthy, college-bound
Cadie was way out of league for a local boy who restored
boats for a living. Yet the two became inseparable, seizing
every chance to slip away in Liam’s runabout to secluded
spots, far from the world that was trying to keep them
apart.
After Cadie returned home to New York and discovered she was
pregnant, her parents crushed any hope of communicating with
the boy she’d left behind. Unanswered letters and calls
couldn’t change Liam’s heart, but over the years he’s
settled into a simple, solitary life in his rambling
beachfront house. Now he’s learned that Cadie is returning
to Nantucket for the opening of her son’s art show. Over a
weekend of revelations and poignant memories, Cadie and Liam
have an opportunity to confront the difference time can
make, the truths that never alter, and the bittersweet
second chances that arrive just in time to steer a heart
back home…
