#1 New York Times
bestselling author
Susan Wiggs brings readers home to Avalon, an idyllic town nestled on the
tranquil shores of Willow Lake. There, one woman will rediscover her family
and her dreams, and find a surprising new love. …
Sonnet Romano’s life is almost perfect. She has the ideal
career, the ideal boyfriend, and has just been offered a prestigious fellowship.
There’s nothing more a woman wants—except maybe a baby...brother?
When Sonnet finds out her mother is unexpectedly expecting,
and that the pregnancy is high risk, she puts everything on hold—the job, the
fellowship, the boyfriend—and heads home to Avalon. Once her mom is out of
danger, Sonnet intends to pick up her life where she left off.
But when her mother receives a devastating diagnosis, Sonnet
must decide what really matters in life, even if that means staying in Avalon
and taking a job that forces her to work alongside her biggest, and maybe her
sweetest, mistake—award-winning filmmaker Zach Alger. So Sonnet embarks on a
summer of laughter and tears, of old dreams and new possibilities, and of
finding the home of her heart.
