Fifty-seven-year-old Margaret Thompson lives a life of quiet
desperation. Her daughters are in college, her ex-husband has remarried, and her
vision of the future is blurry and uncertain. Until a letter arrives in March, informing Margaret she has inherited her beloved late aunt’s beach house
in Connecticut
Pictures from the attorney tell the story of a vengeful
cousin, but Margaret has no idea of the true damage until she arrives in June. Over
thirty years of cherished memories are erased as soon as she opens the front
door. If that wasn’t bad enough, Margaret hears her late aunt talking to her
and wonders if she’s losing her mind.
With little money, and only a college kid for a construction
crew, Margaret is determined to bring the house back to what she remembers. Hidden
treasures, secret rooms, and ancestral stories bring Margaret’s other memories
to the surface—memories Margaret had hoped to keep buried.
New friends, new ideas about her future, and new revelations
about what home really means, force Margaret to question everything she once
held dear and fight for what she now wants.
Unfortunately, what she truly wants only exists in the
secret place in her heart.
