SYNOPSIS: “Nantucket novelist Vivian Howe has one final summer to protect her secrets while her loved ones on Earth learn to live without their golden girl in the new page-turner from “the queen of beach reads" (New York). On a perfect June day, Vivian Howe, author of thirteen beach novels and mother of three, is killed in a hit-and-run car accident while jogging near her home on Nantucket. She ascends to the Beyond, where she's assigned to a Person named Martha, who allows Vivi to watch what happens below for one last summer. Vivi is granted three "nudges" to change the outcome of events on Earth, and with her daughter Willa on her third miscarriage, daughter Carson partying until all hours, and son Leo currently "off again" with his high-maintenance girlfriend, she'll have to think carefully about how to use them.”
