"At seventeen, Charlie Coleman was on top of the world. He was captain of the football team, dating the smart and beautiful Shawna David, and on his way to becoming another pillar of his Nantucket community, just like his father before him. But all that changed in the blink of an eye. It's been thirty years since the accident, and Charlie is still overwhelmed with guilt. Why has he been blessed with so much -- a gorgeous wife, three children, and two grandchildren, while Nora is left with nothing? Why did he escape that night with his life? Nora has spent most of the past thirty years alone, save for her great-nephew, Jax. When Jax and Charlie's daughter, Marcy, fall in love during another gorgeous Nantucket summer, Nora and Charlie aren't pleased in the least. But Nora and Charlie must face the past, rather than be suffocated by it -- and for Charlie, that means understanding Nora's anger much more than he bargained for." - Amazon.com.
