<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Bestselling author Holly Chamberlin welcomes readers to the sunny beaches and unspoiled beauty of Maine, in this poignant, thoughtful new novel of a mother and daughter in the midst of profound change. . . <br /><br />When Louise Bessire was living in Boston, she dreamed of another way of life, far from the phony smiles and small-talk of corporate dinners. Now she's got what she wanted--though not exactly in the way she hoped. Blindsided by her husband's affair, Louise has used her divorce settlement to buy Blueberry Bay, a picturesque bed and breakfast in Ogunquit. And with a celebrity wedding taking place on the premises this summer, business is looking up. <br /><br />While Louise deals with paparazzi and wedding planners, her sixteen-year-old daughter, Isobel, is falling hard for local boy Jeff Otten. Being singled out by Jeff--nineteen, handsome, and from a wealthy family--almost makes up for her father's increasing neglect. Yet even in the glow of golden beach days there are sudden, heart-wrenching revelations for both Louise and Isobel. It will be a summer that tests their strength and courage and proves that through every changing season, nothing is as steadfast as a mother's love. . .<br /><br /><strong>Praise for the novels of Holly Chamberlin</strong><br /><br />"A thoughtful social commentary and tender narration of friendship and loyalty." --<em>Publishers Weekly </em>on <em>Last Summer</em><br /><br />"Nostalgia over real-life friendships lost and regained pulls readers into the story." -<em>USA Today</em> on <em>Summer Friends</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Holly Chamberlin</b> was born and raised in New York City.
