For a fractured family, a beloved inn becomes a place of healing in a bittersweet novel about loss, transformation, and second chances by a USA Today bestselling author.
After a hurricane barrels down the North Carolina coast, three estranged siblings reunite to repair their late grandmother's bed-and-breakfast. The Shelter Inn still stands, suffused with childhood memories of pink-lemonade days and firefly-dotted nights. But the bonds between Amelia, Maggie, and Duncan are broken.
Amelia, the high achiever of the family, disapproves of Maggie's aimless life, which has left her without a job, home, or vision for the future. Maggie resents Amelia's need to control everything. Duncan, usually the peacekeeper, is preoccupied with his own problems--he's been hiding a devastating secret from his stepsisters, and time is running out for closure.
Luckily, Grandma Laverne left behind a box of recipe cards offering wisdom on everything from curating the perfect summer day to mending a broken heart. As the family rebuilds the storm-damaged inn, the recipes help them come to terms with life's misunderstandings--and missed connections. Can they let go of the past and forgive one another before another storm shakes them apart?
