Official synopsis Publisher
Sylvie Woodruff has spent the last 30 or so years being the ideal politician’s wife and raising two daughters. When her world crashes down around her after a painful, public betrayal, she retreats to her grandmother’s rambling seaside home to wait for the scandal to blow over. Sylvie’s eldest daughter, Diana, married out of friendship and respect, not love … then years later, finds herself falling for a most unsuitable man. When the affair ends badly, she sets off in search of a new beginning. Lizzie, Diana’s younger sister, who caused her parents such heartache as a teenager, is finally getting her life together. When a summer fling leaves her pregnant, and her charming boyfriend turns violent, she too heads out of town.
