For fans of Elin Hilderbrand, USA Today bestseller Pamela Kelley invites readers into the Nantucket way of life--sandy shores, warm hearts, and new beginnings.

A brilliant solution: remaking your rambling beach house into a bed & breakfast.

Lisa Hodges loves her home and her Nantucket community, but after she's widowed and her late husband's gambling addiction comes to light, it looks like she may have to sell her house and move off-island. Until she comes up with the idea to turn her home into a bed & breakfast, welcoming guests with her delicious cooking, gracious hospitality and entertaining skills. Her four adult children range from surprised to supportive, so Lisa hangs out her shingle and hopes for the best--and indeed, life on Nantucket is the best. Between the ups and downs of arguing with the town council, growing closer to her family, and meeting her first guest--an attractive man who is also at a crossroads in his life--Nantucket isn't always easy, but the small, insular island is home.
