Description

An unexpected inheritance, a promise broken, and four lives changed forever: discover "the gold standard of summertime escapism" from USA Today bestselling author Jamie Brenner (Elin Hilderbrand).
Summer has started in idyllic Sag Harbor, and for Emma Mapson that means greeting guests at the front desk of The American Hotel. But when one of the town's most famous residents, artist Henry Wyatt, dies suddenly, Emma learns he has mysteriously left his waterfront home -- a self-designed masterpiece filled with his work -- to her teenage daughter, Penny.
Back in Manhattan, legendary art patron Bea Winstead's grief at her lifelong friend and former business partner Henry's passing turns to outrage at the news of his shocking bequest. How did these unknown locals get their hands on the estate? Bea, with her devoted assistant Kyle in tow, descends on Sag Harbor determined to reclaim the house and preserve Henry's legacy.
While Emma fights to defend her daughter's inheritance, Bea discovers that Henry left a treasure trove of sketches scattered around town. With Penny's reluctant help, Bea pieces them together to find a story hidden in plain sight: an illustration of their shared history with an unexpected twist that will change all of their lives. Drawn together in their battle for the house, Emma and Bea are forced to confront the past while facing a future that challenges everything they believe about love, fate, and family.
An unexpected inheritance, a promise broken, and four lives changed forever: discover "the gold standard of summertime escapism" from USA Today bestselling author Jamie Brenner (Elin Hilderbrand).

This is a heartwarming story about a teenage girl, Penny, who inherits a mansion from her art teacher, Henry. To her, he was just a man who taught her to draw. To him, Penny taught him to enjoy a new type of art and life in a small town. To the world, he was a renowned artist. The story involves many characters that eventually come together to celebrate what is important in life.

The story takes place in Sag Harbor and Penny's mom manages a hotel that Henry hangs out in each day. This is how he gets to know Penny. When Penny inherits Henry's mansion, Bea Winstead, his longtime friend and art manager, can't believe that Henry would leave his fortune to a teenage girl and figures something must be fishy. She fights the inheritance with everything in her power.

I give this book four stars because it the characters are inviting and believable. I like how the author weaves all of the characters together throughout the book.

This book was given to me for my honest review.

This is a story of a single mother and her teen daughter living in tourist oriented Sag Harbor. Emma works at the American Hotel, the most prestigious lodging available. Her daughter Penny goes to school and visits with the hotel guests. Henry Wyatt lives in Sag Harbor and is a regular patron of the bar and restaurant. He and Penny become good friends as he encourages her to work on her art. He's famous in the art world and when he suddenly dies he leaves his estate to young Penny. When the will is contested by his good friend Bea, Emma must fight for her daughter. This is a good story of family and gives a little insight to the world of the gifted and talented. I loved all the characters, including Bea who should have been the antagonist and hated. I've read several of Jamie Brenner's books and this one is a nice addition to her title list. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.
