Following
the unexpected death of her fiancé, Abby Rhodes returned to
Hartley-by-the-Sea, finding solace in the familiarity of her childhood
home. With her small son in tow, Abby has thrown herself
into taking care of her ailing grandmother and running their family’s
café. While this is not the future she once dreamed for herself, she and
her son have managed to find a place in the world and life is finally
getting back on track—that is, until the sudden
return of her prodigal mother.
After
years of estrangement, Laura Rhodes is determined to make things right
with her daughter. Saying goodbye to her glamorous life in New York,
Laura is unsure what to expect when she returns to
Hartley-by-the-Sea. She knows that after a lifetime of absence and
neglect, reestablishing a mother-daughter bond will be no easy task. But
following a rocky start to their reluctant reunion, Abby slowly opens
up as the heartbreaking secrets of Laura’s past
come to light and she realizes there are depths to her mother that she
never expected. And when tragedy strikes, the two women must rely on
each other more than ever as their lives become increasingly
intertwined.
