Publisher's summary

In 1943, a powerful hurricane ripped across Martha’s Vineyard and destroyed the Historic Cliffside Hotel. Now, a broken, long-time realtor who has lived on the island her entire life sells the old acreage and building to a passionate developer—and finds healing, love, and light along the way.

Kelli Montgomery spent the previous twenty years in a loveless and abusive marriage. Last Christmas, after her brother, Andy, arrived home after decades away, she finally found the strength to leave her husband—but as anyone who’s ever been through such trauma knows, what happens next—the healing process, the rebirth which is the hardest, and most grueling part of healing.

Years ago, Kelli and her ex took over her parents’ prosperous real estate business. Now that Mike has officially left the island, the work has fallen on Kelli’s shoulders. Naturally, she is struggling—even as the rest of the Montgomery and Sheridan families do their best to hold her upright and give her all the love and care in the world.

A seasoned developer and his son have arrived on the island and have their eye on the Historic Cliffside Hotel, with dreams to build it back up into one of the most prosperous and beautiful resorts the island has seen since the '40s. Lucky for them—Kelli and her parents still have the blueprints for the old hotel—which means its previous beauty and allure can be restored.

As Kelli falls deeper into the project, she finds herself lost in a daydream of hopes—and ultimately healing the cracks in her soul.

A Love for All Times

I thought the previous book in the series was wonderful. But this book caught my peaked my interest and imagination by the suspense of a life of the past. I was intrigued by the mystery surrounding the Sheridan grandparents of Marilyn and Robert. The flashbacks to a previous era only heightened my interest. The rebirth of a place in time is a profound statement of love and happiness in an era gone by. I enjoyed that era as my parents were also of that time in 1943. Thank you for taking me along the path of love and passion and bringing forth the connection that our families had in forming the families of the present. I hope others enjoy this book as much as I have as they step into the shoes of time and take the journey that awaits them.

History is important

In this book we get the history of Wes and Kerry’s parents and it is beautiful.

It’s sad there is so much tragedy in the Sheridan and Montgomery families but I think all families have a lot of tragedy. It’s just in how you handle it. You can let it tear you down or you can rise from the ashes stronger than before.
