Product Description
Every summer the Newton family retreats to their beloved home on Nantucket for three months of sunshine, cookouts, and bonfires on the beach. But this summer will not be like any other. When Arch Newton, a prominent New York attorney, dies in a plane crash on his way home from a business trip, his beautiful widow, Beth, can barely keep things together. Above all, though, she decides that she must continue the family tradition of going to Nantucket, and at the same time fulfill a promise that Arch made before he died.
Beth invites Marcus, the son of Arch?s final and most challenging client, to spend the summer with her and her teenage twins, Winnie and Garrett, who have mixed reactions to sharing their special summer place with this stranger. Always a place of peace before, Nantucket becomes the scene of roiling emotions and turbulent passions as Marcus, Winnie, and Garrett learn about loss, first love, and betrayal. And when they stumble upon a shocking secret from Beth?s past, they must keep it from destroying the family they?ve been trying so hard to heal.

 Summer People September 23, 2008
Great easy read! Found myself hoping and praying the chartacters wouldn't do what they were planning....
 A little boring... July 10, 2008

I found the book a little boring. I don't usually write reviews, but I read them all the time. I read this book based upon other reviews and was disappointed in this book. The characters were not developed well at all. The story was slow moving. This was my first Hilderbrand book and I will give her one more try in hopes that this was just not one of her better books.
Enjoyable Summer Read June 30, 2008
This is a book of love and healing. I found this to be a fast page turner. You get to know the charactors, and wand to keep knowing more. I thought the story was pretty realistic. There was no fairy tale sappy ending for the different charactors. All in all this is a great summer read!

I wasn't so sure about this book when I first received it. I have not read anything else by Elin Hilderbrand, but decided to give it a try, knowing it was pretty much the last book I hadn't read in the house. WAS I GLAD THAT I DID!!! Wow, this book pulls you in with a captivating story line and just when you think it's about over, surprise! Another twist to keep you coming back for more. This pulled at my heart, trying to make tears come to my eyes. I'm not one for books that you know what will happen or how they will turn out, but this book is not one of them. And I am sooo glad it isn't! Please read if you have some extra time on your hands, you'll be thankful you did!
