Resumen del Editor

Rachel Jones is a woman with a plan. She’s smart, beautiful, driven, and the top marketer in the Hedge Fund world. What she didn't plan? Falling in love with Walter "Scallop" Koslowski, a local farmer, on a weekend trip to the Hamptons.

Rachel attended Stanford on a soccer scholarship, landed a job at Goldman Sachs, attended Harvard Business School, snared her dream job at a top hedge fund, and lives in a penthouse in Tribeca. Her personal life has always played second fiddle to her career. Rachel buries herself in work because she is unhappy, empty, and reeling after a life-changing beachside breakup with her boyfriend from graduate school. Scallop left his family’s farm the morning after high school graduation to travel, surf, climb mountains, and explore rainforests. Scallop became a Navy Seal after 9/11, serving four tours. When he isn’t at work at the farm, he's surfing, fishing, hunting, or serving as a volunteer fireman. He lives a minimalist lifestyle in a tiny, uninsulated cottage on Peconic Bay with his four-year-old son from a previous relationship, and relies on his extended family to help care for his son and provide a routine of stability Scallop needed to keep PTSD at bay.

Financial pressures leave Scallop’s family seriously considering selling the family farm, leaving Scallop’s future uncertain. Despite being polar opposites, Rachel and Scallop fall madly in love over the course of a summer. Rachel’s friends and family tell her it’s impossible, even laughable, for her to be involved with Scallop. Those in Scallop’s inner circle are eager to see him put his best foot forward, but it isn’t clear he knows how anymore at age 40. When an old acquaintance of Scallop’s dredges up unsavory details about his past, Rachel sees clearly how the dark secret could cost her everything.

Conscience Point is a story about following your heart at all costs, how chance encounters can change our lives forever, and the sacrificial choices we make for love.

I wish this book didn't have to end....

Brilliant character development, a lovey plot, and a warm and comfortable tone, Conscience Point was a pleasant surprise. Living on a farm on the island of Marthas Vineyard, the parallels were striking. This is my new go to book when friends ask for a recommendation. Well done Tade.
