Publisher's Synopsis
Maggie and Alyssa have an unbreakable sisterly bond. But when a chance encounter with an older woman named Heidi pushes them to take a huge emotional risk -- they're forced to ask themselves questions about the strength of their love and what they're willing to do to keep it alive.
In New York City, life is not what it once was. Maggie's husband is cruel and manipulative, but when Alyssa demands answers, Maggie brushes it off. Now that the IVF treatments have worked and Maggie is pregnant, Maggie hardly notices the troubles in her marriage. Alyssa decides to step back and be happy for her sister, no matter what.
But when Maggie suffers another miscarriage, Alyssa's heart breaks for her. All Maggie has ever wanted is to be a mother. This was her last chance.
The Dog-Eared Corner is a gem of a bookstore in Martha's Vineyard. Heidi Withers' father opened it when she was just a girl and passed it on to her when he died, and it's been her pride and joy ever since.
Now fifty-seven, things at the bookstore have begun to feel strange to Heidi -- but then again, everything has always felt strange to her. Since her son and sister abandoned her seven years ago, she's lived so much of her life alone, surrounded by books.
But when a terrible diagnosis leaves her reeling, Heidi is forced to push aside her pride and look to the community of Martha's Vineyard for help. Miraculously, two beautiful sisters -- one heartbroken over her miscarriage, and the other trying her best to pick up the pieces -- enter her bookstore and become involved in the most monumental season of her life.
When Heidi shares dark secrets from her past with Maggie and Alyssa, the girls decide to take a risk to make both Maggie's maternity dreams come true and bring Heidi's son back to the island. Neither story plays out how they plan.
Dive into book ten of The Katama Bay Series, a heartwarming journey of motherly and sisterly love, healing, and promise for better days, all on the island of Martha's Vineyard, with its gorgeous ocean views, its endless summer days, and its bubbly cast of islanders.
