A young mother filled with regret returns to Sullivan's Island to rebuild her life and finds compassion in the most unexpected places in this heartfelt women's fiction story of self-discovery and second chances from bestselling author T. I. Lowe, whose novels have been described as "soul-stirring, unforgettable romance" (BookPage).
When Juniper Wilder's grief spiraled into addiction, leading first to an arrest for drunk driving, then jail and court-ordered rehab, she lost the most important thing in her life: her baby girl. Now, sober and on probation, Junie is determined to prove she can be the mother Fern deserves. But she's burned a lot of bridges, ones that can't be easily rebuilt.
Not every road is closed to her, however. Exiled to her late grandmother's South Carolina beach house, Junie starts over, ready to pay off her debts and prove to her brother that he can safely return custody of Fern. She works hard and finds surprising grace in an eclectic recovery community. There's an unexpected friendship, too--and maybe more--with her neighbor, Henry, a quirky college professor who helps her believe in second chances.
Still, it's hard for Junie to imagine ever forgiving herself, let alone receiving forgiveness from those she's hurt . . . particularly when her past rears its ugly head and threatens to undo every bit of progress she's made.
