The Summer Swap - Sarah Morgan

Descriere

The perfect summer novel--sharp, smart and so much fun! --Viola Shipman, USA TODAY bestselling author, on The Island Villa n nCecilia Lapthorne always vowed she'd never go back to Dune Cottage. So no one is more surprised than Cecilia to find herself escaping her own seventieth birthday party to return to the remote but beautiful cottage on Cape Cod--a place filled with memories. Some are good--especially memories of the early days with her husband, volatile artist Cameron, before his fame eclipsed their marriage. But then there are the memories she has revealed to no one. Especially not her daughter, Kristen, who hero-worshipped her father. n nFor aspiring artist Lily, Dune Cottage has been a refuge, albeit an illicit one. After dropping out of medical school, she's cleaning houses on the Cape to get by, guilt-ridden for disappointing her parents. Unoccupied for years, the cottage seemed the perfect place to hide away and lick her wounds--until Cecilia unexpectedly arrives. Despite an awkward beginning, Lily accepts Cecilia's invitation to stay on as her guest, and a flicker of kinship ignites. n nThen Cecilia's grandson, Todd--and Lily's unrequited crush--shows up, sending a shock wave through their unlikely friendship. Will it inspire Lily to find the courage to live the life she wants? Can Cecilia finally let go of the past to find a new future? Because as surely as the tide erases past footprints, this summer is offering both Cecilia and Lily the chance to swap old dreams for new... n nMorgan is a masterful storyteller.... For fans of Jojo Moyes, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Stacey Ballis. --Booklist n nDiscover more by Sarah Morgan: n n- The Book Club Hotel n- The Island Villa n- Snowed in for Christmas n- Beach House Summer n- The Christmas Escape n- The Summer Seekers n
