The Summer Daughter

Más información sobre el libro

Summer fiction at its best for fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Holly Chamberlin, and Nancy Thayer! Colleen French, acclaimed author, invites readers to Albany Beach, Delaware, where one woman grapples with the decision to seek out the daughter she gave up for adoption. Each summer, the town buzzes with tourists, but for Natalie French, this season is particularly stressful. Her husband, Conor, has recently bought an Irish pub with his brothers, and while their two children are thriving, Natalie feels pangs of loss as she nears the end of her childbearing years. When her sixteen-year-old daughter, McKenzie, starts raving about Bella, a new coworker who bears a striking resemblance to her, Natalie’s past collides with her present. Bella, adopted and two years older than McKenzie, prompts Natalie to reflect on her own decision to place her baby for adoption during college. Despite Conor's insistence that pursuing Bella is a mistake, Natalie finds herself drawn to the young woman. As their connection deepens, tensions rise at home, with McKenzie accusing her mother of prioritizing a stranger over her own family. Natalie must confront the implications of Bella possibly being her biological child and navigate her feelings about what could have been, while also embracing the joy within her own family.
