For fifteen years, the Holloway sisters have stayed away from Nantucket... and each other. Their mother’s letter is about to change everything.
Holloway’s Lobster Shack has been a Nantucket staple for 40 years.It’s where the sisters learned to crack lobsters with their dad, where they waited tables every summer, and the last piece of him they have left.
Now their mother Eleanor has a deal on the table from developers who want to tear it down and build luxury condos.If she sells, every penny goes to their stepfather Richard, the man whose arrival fifteen years ago splintered their once-close family.
But Eleanor has one other option. She’ll give the restaurant to her daughters, but only if all three come home and run it together for the summer.
Meredith, the oldest, hasn’t told her family she walked away from her Boston law career after discovering her husband’s affair.June’s perfectly curated life as a Nantucket gallery owner is hiding a growing scandal that could ruin everything she’s built.And Sophie, the youngest, is flying in from LA with a secret that will shock them all.
But as the sisters settle back into their childhood beach house, they realize something is wrong with their mother.Her hands shake when she thinks no one’s watching.She forgets conversations from hours ago.And her determination to bring her daughters home feels like it’s about something much deeper than just the restaurant.
Between Richard’s growing control over their mother, mysterious problems at the shack, and the weight of losing their father all those years ago, the Holloway sisters have one summer to save their family’s legacy.
One crumbling lobster shack. Three sisters with enough secrets to fill the harbor. And a family that might just find its way back to each other, if the truth doesn’t sink them first.
