Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

Publisher's summary
After an accident (an attempted suicide?) Ruby returns to care for her stricken mother - bitterly resenting the fact that once again her mother's life has colonized hers. When she is approached by a publisher to write a biography of her mother, Ruby is desperate for the princely sum offered. Yet her research into her mother's past reveals a woman very different from the one Ruby expected. And what began as "mommy dearest" ends as a love story - not only between mother and daughter, but involving two very different men who play a key role in linking the past to the present.

Award-winning poet Marisa de los Santos crafts an irresistibly touching debut novel. Love Walked In is a contemporary tale, steeped in nostalgic, cinematic charm, of love in all its forms.

But it is Martin's connection to 11-year-old Clare Hobbes that touches Cornelia's heart in ways she never imagined.

Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby: she’d do anything for them. But almost everything she's told them about herself is a lie. And she might just have got away with it, if it weren’t for her husband’s job. Leo is an obituary writer; Emma a well-known marine biologist. When she suffers a serious illness, Leo copes by doing what he knows best – researching and writing about his wife’s life. But as he starts to unravel the truth, he discovers the woman he loves doesn’t really exist. Even her name isn’t real.

Elsa must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family.

Typical summer read
Story line was fairly interesting. initially it seemed to be a bit repetitious then toward the end it jumped over areas that could have fleshed out the story line.

Another wonderful book by Kristen Hannah
Kristen Hannah seems to write about characters that I know and relate to. Summer Island touches on subjects that are relevant as much today as they were in 2002 when this book was published. As with many of her books the characters go through the process of healing broken relationships. This book was funny, heartbreaking, and joyful.

Awesome story
This was a wonderful tale of hurts caused by misunderstandings and years to get the truth out and repairs started. Each character was special and all changed as truth revealed

I think it's my age, but I love Kristin Hannah boo
I didn't love this book as much as Mystic Lake, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I do like how Kristin Hannah's books are realistic and quite often show family life in a non-sugar coated way.
The narrators always make the book and Joyce Bean gets top marks.
