Lori Wilde brings the magic of Hobby Island back in full force, offering a story rich in family, healing, and quiet romance. Fans of women’s fiction with emotional resonance, lovely character arcs, and small-town (or in this case, island) charm will find themselves at home here.

If you’re looking for a tender, hopeful read about second chances, sisterhood, and the healing pull of a small-town summer, this delivers exactly that.
