A New York Times Bestselling Author -- Set in the tumultuous South during the 1970s, this is the story of Olivia "Lovie" Rutledge, the mother from The Beach House. As Lovie sits on the porch of her charming house and looks out over the ocean, the old woman reflects on the difficult choices she made many years earlier -- during the summer that changed her life. Beautifully wrought and rich with keen insight, this is an unforgettable tale of marriage, resilience, and one woman's private strength.
