In the picturesque waterfront town of Westport, Connecticut, she begins to confront what it is she really wants from her life. Remaking the dilapidated cottage she rents from Dominic, a local handyman who lives next door with his six-year-old son, Emma finds herself feeling at home in a way she never has before.

A Novel

Jane Green's Summer Secrets is a “compelling” (Booklist) drama and a beautifully rendered portrait of love, forgiveness, and finding the courage to change and being strong enough to weather the storms. When a shocking family secret is revealed, twenty-something 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, Cat also risks losing the very people she loves the most. “Gripping and powerful.”—Emily Giffin

Ridiculed by her stepmother, Linda, and harboring a painful crush on her brother's best friend, she has begun to outgrow the life laid out before her.

One day a chance encounter leads to an unexpected opportunity. Whispers of a palace in Morocco. A getaway where famous artists, models, fashion designers and musicians--even the Rolling Stones--have been known to visit.

The target of her mother's criticism, Meredith never felt good enough, thin enough, pretty enough. Her life took her to London--and into the arms of a man whom she may not even love. And Lizzy, the youngest, more like Ronni than any of them, seemed to have it easy, using her drive and ambition to build a culinary career to rival her mother's fame, while her marriage crumbled around her. But now the Sunshine sisters are together again, called home by Ronni, who has learned that she has a serious disease and needs her daughters to fulfill her final wishes. And though Nell, Meredith, and Lizzy have never been close, their mother's illness draws them together to confront the old jealousies and secret fears that have threatened to tear these sisters apart.
