Description: 

From the acclaimed author of Honeysuckle Season comes an intriguing dual-timeline book about one woman’s quest to unearth the secret tales of her family’s coastal resort. When a shipwreck resurface, old secrets are destined to follow. Or so goes the tale in Ivy Neale’s hometown of Nags Head, North Carolina. When Ivy inherits her family’s beachside house following her grandmother’s death, she knows going to Nags Head means confronting the best friend and the man who deceived her years ago. But then a winter storm exposes the shipwreck of local legend—and Ivy quickly starts to stumble onto more skeletons in the closet than just her own. Amid the cottage’s mess are hints from her grandmother’s history at the picturesque coastal resort her family previously owned. One fateful summer in 1950, the appearance of a stunning vocalist shocked the employees and visitors alike—and not everyone made it to autumn. As Ivy fights with shattered relationships and a growing romance in the present, the past threatens to carry her away. But as she discovers the fortitude of her grandmother and the women who came before her, she understands she is like the famous shipwreck: the sands may move around her, but she has found her home here by the sea.
