It’s been a life-changing year since Maddie moved to the picturesque, historic fishing village of Menemsha on Martha’s Vineyard, where her late mother was born. Maddie has rediscovered her grandmother, as well as her own Indigenous roots as half Wampanoag. She’s also found an unexpected second chance at love with restauranteur Rex Winsted. And then she spots a vacant shop right on the harbor. Maddie boldly decides to end her days as a college journalism professor and open a bookshop that also will serve teas her grandmother makes from island herbs. For Maddie, it’s all too good to be true…until the threats begin. An unexpected incident makes the situation worse, and just as the shop is about to open, revelations from the past erupt.
