In this heartbreaking yet hopeful novel that explores the bonds of family and the perils and rewards of love, Susan Wiggs brings readers home to Avalon, on the shores of Willow Lake. Sonnet Romano has the ideal career, the ideal boyfriend and has just been offered a prestigious fellowship. But when she learns her mother is unexpectedly expecting in a high-risk pregnancy, she puts everything on hold and heads home. Once her mom is out of danger, Sonnet intends to pick up her life where she left off. After 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. And in a summer of laughter and tears, of old dreams and new possibilities, Sonnet may find the home of her heart.
