Powerfully emotional, New York Times bestselling author Maisey Yates's new novel is a heartwarming exploration of how life's biggest challenges can turn into the greatest opportunities of all...

Rachel Henderson's family is falling apart. Becoming a widow--especially at this age--is heartbreaking. And now with her teenage daughter, Emma, leaving soon for college, Rachel's never felt more lost. She needs a friend--and local diner-owner Adam is the last person she ever thought she'd lean on.

From the outside, her little sister, Anna, has a picture-perfect marriage. But the weight of it is suffocating her. The only way for her to breathe again--and claim the life she's always wanted--comes at a high price, one she's not so sure she can pay.

After raising two daughters on her own and setting up the Lighthouse Inn B&B from scratch, their mother, Wendy, knows just how hard life can be. She's done things she's not proud of, things she desperately wants to keep from her girls--until keeping quiet is no longer an option.

As long-held secrets bubble up and their old lives unravel, the women of Lighthouse Inn will need all their strength to start again and open their hearts up to the possibility of more. But most of all, they'll need each other.

Rachel knew that her time with her husband was limited and recently passed. Emma their teenage daughter her at a few crossroad in her life with choosing to go to college and is debating where to go. Anna is sister to Rachel whose marriage seemed perfect at a glace and and made a decision that ultimately led to her divorce. They all live in a small town and rumors can fly and make things difficult each women have some difficult decision to make to figure things out for their lives. 

This was another book that's been a on my tbr list for a while and after reading it I'm surprised I didn't pick it up sooner. I mean at first I had a bit of a challenge trying to get used to the three perspectives plus the extras. Thats just one thing that I personally have a trouble getting through but once I figured things out it was smooth sailing. It was interesting getting to know each person. Each of the women were facing difficult choices. Rachel was trying to learn to live again after her husband passed and just felt so much guilt trying to past it and seeing how she was handling it was pretty interesting I did enjoy seeing her bit of romance. Then there was Emma the daughter who was facing school but didn't really want to leave her mother on her own thinking on relocating schools but really wanted to get out there but also facing some love herself. Anna poor Anna, I mean it was interesting seeing both sides of her and her husband once things came down to it. I mean she's the one who pretty much ruined the relationship but it was a long time coming and her husband didn't have to do that to her making things difficult for her. There is so much to unpack with this book but after it was all done I'm glad to have read this book. It was such a good read I really enjoyed it.
