Emily Ackerman has
traveled the world, her constant compass and companion a book of letters
her mother left for her when she died. With no father in the picture,
her mom's advice has been her only true north. But when professional
failure leads Emily back to Nantucket to renovate and sell the family
cottage she inherited, she wonders if her mom left advice to cover this
. . . especially when her grandmother arrives to "supervise." And
especially when her heart becomes entangled with Hollis McGuire, the boy
next door-turned-baseball star who's back on the island after a
career-ending injury.
As sparks fly between her and Hollis, Emily
is drawn to island life, even as she uncovers shocking secrets about
the tragic accident that led to her mother's death. With her world
turned upside down, Emily must choose between allowing the voices from
her past to guide her future or forging her own path forward.
My Review: 4 Stars
There is something about the sea air that soothes my soul and warms my heart. Emily has traveled all over the world, but is back in Nantucket and almost immediately runs into Hollis, a friend from her past. Although there are bumps along Emily's journey and secrets to uncover, there is a comforting thread running throughout this poignant story.
Emily has a lot of challenges to overcome and this sweet book allowed for growth, love, and dreams to manifest. I loved the way Emily bonded with Jolie, which unintentionally strengthens their individual relationships with Hollis.
The flashbacks to the past helped to complete this moving story and the whole thing encompassed every inch of my heart.
