From the author of The Secrets of the Little Greek Taverna comes a moving novel filled with friendship, summer, and legends of mermaids.
When Grace Cleary's father passes suddenly, she realizes that the life she has shared with her husband Richard is not the one wanted for herself or her daughter, Bayla. When she inherits Cleary's Crab Shack, her father's seafood restaurant and the center of the small Maiden's Cove community, it gives her the push she needs to leave her controlling husband. She and Bayla leave in the night and return to Maiden's Cove. The restaurant has suffered from the loss of her father and it is up to her and her family, friends, and the community, to save it from closing.
When Grace's estranged childhood best friend, Isla, returns to Maiden's Cove, the old rumors and myths about Isla being a mermaid begin yet again. Grace knows that this is their last summer together and their one chance to make amends.
What started off as a bright summer turns dark as the shadow of Richard looms over Grace and Bayla. He's not ready to let his family go. He's not ready to let his family go. But Grace is building a new life and reconnecting with everything she has missed from her childhood.
As the summer unfolds with delicious seafood, hot summer days and nights, unexpected romance, and a little bit of mermaid magic, can the women reconnect with one another enough to find themselves again and heal from the years apart and away from the one place that is truly home?
