Summer at Hideaway Key by Barbara Davis
From the author of The Wishing Tide comes a stunning new novel about two summers, one journal, and the secrets that can break and open our hearts....Pragmatic, independent Lily St. Claire has never been a beachgoer. But when her late father leaves her a small house on Hideaway Key--one neither her mother nor she knew he owned--she's determined to visit the sleepy spit of land along Florida's Gulf Coast. Expecting a quaint cottage, Lily instead finds a bungalow with peeling shutters and mountains of memorabilia. She also catches a glimpse of the architect who lives down the beach....
But it's the carton of old journals in the front room that she finds most intriguing. The journals were written by her mother's sister, an infamous beauty whose name has long been banned from the St. Claire home. The journals tell a family tale Lily has never heard, of her mother and her aunt as young girls in Tennessee and the secrets that followed them into adulthood. As she reads, Lily gains a new understanding: about her family and about herself. And she begins to open her heart--to this place, these people, and the man next door. But can she ever truly learn to trust, to believe that love is not a trap but a harbor? And is it true that hearts, even broken ones, can be forged anew?
Barbara Davis left the corporate world after more than a decade as an executive in the jewelry industry to finally pursue her lifelong dream of writing. When Never Comes, Love, Alice, Summer at Hideaway Key, The Wishing Tide, and The Secrets She Brought are among her works. She is presently writing on her next book while living in Rochester, New Hampshire, with her husband Tom and their beloved ginger cat, Simon.
