Official synopsis Publisher
2018 Selah Book of the Year 2018 INSPY Finalist, Debut Novel Welcome to Edisto Beach where the days are slow and the past is never far away… Recent graduate Cora Anne Halloway has a history degree and a plan-avoid her own past. Then her beloved grandmother requests one last summer at Still Waters, the family cottage on Edisto Beach. Despite difficult memories lingering among the oak canopies and gentle tides, Edisto tempts her with forgiveness-especially since Nan hires Tennessee Watson to oversee cottage repairs. A local contractor dedicated to the Island’s preservation from development, Tennessee offers Cora Anne friendship and more, if she can move beyond her guilt over his father’s death. For this young woman on the cusp of a new life, peace with her past means reconciling her family and her Edisto memories. But acceptance of her story may mean loving the man determined to preserve a history she’d rather forget. This is a heartwarming story of young love, old tragedies, and new life wrapped in an idyllic Lowcountry setting praised by NYT bestseller Patti Callahan (Becoming Mrs. Lewis) as a “moving tale of reconciling the past and living for the future.”
