"At seventeen, Ruth lost her mother to cancer, and her father, unable to handle his grieving daughter, shipped her off to Block Island with nothing but a name scribbled on the back of a receipt: Diana Beckett. Diana, a renowned photographer, took Ruth in for the summer, and Block Island became Ruth's refuge, a place of beauty and creativity, a place where she could nurture her dreams of being a writer,a place where she could fall in love for the first time--with Diana's nephew, Charlie. Now, at twenty-seven, Ruth has spent the last ten summers living and working among the lucky few who get to vacationin this wealthy beach town, and the rest of the year just scraping by, yearning to return to the place where she feels safe and unburdened. But then Ruth's world is upended by tragedy again. Desperate for an anchor, she reaches for the person she's been pining for since she met him--Charlie--who has his own startling revelation to share.And when another surprise comes in the form of a box left to Ruth by Diana, its contents raise questions about just how well she knew the two women sho raised her. Torn between what to believe about her past, and what her future might hold, Ruth is faecd with another choice: does she dare to rewrite her story entirely?"--Provided by publisher.
