<b>From the author of <i>The Wishing Tide</i> comes a stunning new novel about two summers, one journal, and the secrets that can break and open our hearts....</b><br> <br>Pragmatic, independent Lily St. Claire has never been a beachgoer. But when her late father leaves her a small house on Hideaway Key - one neither her mother nor she knew he owned - she&#39;s determined to visit the sleepy spit of land along Florida&#39;s Gulf Coast. Expecting a quaint cottage, Lily instead finds a bungalow with peeling shutters and mountains of memorabilia. She also catches a glimpse of the architect who lives down the beach ... .<br> <br>But it&#39;s the carton of old journals in the front room that she finds most intriguing. The journals were written by her mother&#39;s sister, an infamous beauty whose name has long been banned from the St. Claire home. The journals tell a family tale Lily has never heard, of her mother and her aunt as young girls in Tennessee and the secrets that followed them into adulthood. As she reads, Lily gains a new understanding: about her family and about herself. And she begins to open her heart - to this place, these people, and the man next door. But can she ever truly learn to trust, to believe that love is not a trap but a harbor? And is it true that hearts, even broken ones, can be forged anew?
