A Chicago jazz pianist on the brink of enormous change. A Bar Harbor Sous Chef who risks it all for love. And one fateful night over forty years ago that united them forever.
Angela Montague celebrates New Year's Eve as she always has: performing in the jazz ensemble that she started with her husband, Felix, twenty years ago. An hour into the new year, she learns the devastating truth of her husband's affair with another member of the jazz group. In one fell swoop, she loses her husband and her music career. And it's only January 1st.
Two other factors make an already messy year much worse. First, her twenty-year-old daughter, Hannah, has refused to speak to Angie in six months. And secondly, old documents in her deceased father's office indicate that the childhood she spent in Cincinnati wasn't all it seemed to be.
Secrets sizzle through Angie's past, forcing her to face the shattered wreckage of her and her daughter's relationship, develop self-respect, and eventually, dig into the truth -- a truth that inevitably takes her and her daughter cross-country, to the rocky coastline of Bar Harbor, Maine.
In Bar Harbor, Luke Ewing has fallen head-over-heels for the youngest Harvey Sister, Heather Harvey Talbot. But Heather's been through a minefield of emotional duress and is resistant to the power of his love. When Luke thinks all is lost, he takes a risk that very well could unite them forever -- if they're both brave enough to accept this new chapter.
Dive into this new women's fiction series, Mount Desert Island - an unfolding family drama of heartache, longing, and secrets on a beautiful island off the coast of Maine.
